Their Blood As Cold As Ice... 

There's a spider in one corner of my bathroom. It's been there since October. I've never seen it eat anything, and I keep expecting it to drop dead of starvation. But it's still there, it's made itself a web, and it's sitting in it, waiting.

Wonderful things, ectotherms... And people actually say that the cold-blooded creatures are 'lower' on the evolutionary ladder than us endotherms. I wish they'd try fasting for almost a half a year... I'm sure they wouldn't feel so high and mighty afterwards.
