SPECTACULAR SPIDERS OF NICKY BAY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs and cheliceraewith fangs that inject venom. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all other groups of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exception of air and sea colonization. As of 2008, at least 43,678 spider species, and 109 families have been recorded.

ELECTRICITY ~ DEATH OR DELIVERANCE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

HUMAN BEINGS HAVE INHABITED EARTH FOR AT LEAST 10,000 YEARS ~ WITHOUT ELECTRICITY: UNTIL NOW, FIRE WAS THE ONLY COMMON SOURCE OF POWER. THANKS TO NIKOLA TESLA, BY THE 192OS, HALF OF AMERICAN HOUSES HAD ELECTRICAL POWER.
BEFORE ELECTRICITY THERE WERE NO ELECTRONIC OR ELECTRO-MECHANICAL DEVICES ON EARTH.
ONLY 100 YEARS LATER (the blink of an eye, historically) THE ENTIRE PLANET AND HUMAN CIVILIZATION HAS BEEN TOTALLY TRANSFORMED. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THE ABILITY TO CONTROL, OR DESTROY, EVERY LIFE FORM ON EARTH IS POSSIBLE WITH DEVICES POWERED BY ELECTRICITY, INCLUDING THE ATOMIC BOMB, SATELLITES, TELEVISION, THE INTERNET OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPUTERS and SURVEILLANCE DEVICES.
ELECTRICITY MAY BE THE ULTIMATE FRIEND OF LIFE, USED WITH BENEVOLENCE, OR THE DEADLIEST ENEMY IN THE HANDS OF PSYCHOPATHS.
“YOU MAY LIVE TO SEE MAN-MADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.”
~ Nikola Tesla, (Madison Square Garden, 1898)
