Re: Are spiders into ballet?
That's a very pretty spider, and a nice picture of it, but I'm afraid its ballet days are over. Most ballet dancers missing two legs are in a lot of trouble.

Very nice capture, and a very interesting creature.
Life must be rough for spiders over there. I don't take many spider shots, but most or all of mine had all 8.bu most don't have 8.

I find maybe 10% of the spiders in the garden are missing legs. Originally Posted by DanK

from the online etymological dictionary: Originally Posted by JBW

1650s, from hand in cap, a game whereby two bettors would engage a neutral umpire to determine the odds in an unequal contest. The bettors would put their hands holding forfeit money into a hat or cap. The umpire would announce the odds and the bettors would withdraw their hands -- hands full meaning that they accepted the odds and the bet was on, hands empty meaning they did not accept the bet and were willing to forfeit the money. If one forfeited, then the money went to the other. If both agreed either on forfeiting or going ahead with the wager, then the umpire kept the money as payment. The custom, though not the name, is attested from 14c. ("Piers Plowman").

In that position, I would have thought of a gymnast doing a handstand.
