"You're the eighth!"

By Materials & Welding -
The rain was pouring down in Alapuzha, and there standing in front of a big puddle outside the *Kallushaap* (Toddy Shop), was old *Chacko* Uncle, drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling in the water.

(Most of the planets spin on an axis nearly perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic but Uranus' axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic. The three most recently discovered planets were Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1846, and Pluto in 1930. Mercury is the only planet whose orbit is coplanar with its equator. Venus and Uranus are the only planets that rotate opposite to the direction of their orbit. Jupiter has the shortest day of all the planets. Although it has a circumference of 280,000 miles compared with Earth's 25,000 Jupiter manages to make one turn in 9 hours and 55 minutes. If you are having problems remembering the planets in their correct order, just remember this sentence "My very educated mother just served us nine pickles," Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars...

Some male spiders pluck their cobwebs like a guitar, to attract female spiders. Fried spiders taste like nuts. The largest spider ever was the Megarachne which had a diameter of 50 cm. The fossil was found in Argentina. The bite from a black widow spider is not automatically fatal. In fact, less than 1% of all people bitten by this spider run the risk of dying, and most of them are saved with the use of antivenin. The skeleton of a spider is located on the outside of the body. Spiders usually have eight eyes, but still they cannot see that well. There are about 35,000 species of spiders. Spiders have claws at the ends of their legs. Only the female black widow spider has a poisonous bite. The male spider's venom is not poisonous and it does not attack its prey. Of the 35,000 species of spiders, only 27 species are known to have caused human fa...
