from my blotter

a desk in the 1950ies always had a blotter
a piece of blotting paper in a holder because we wrote with dip or fountain pens and real ink - eg QUINK

so now I use a piece of very clean newsprint as a mouse mat I scribble stuff on it that I want to come back to.

Spider Myths: Ours are deadlier than yours

sometimes said to have the world's most toxic spider venom. I don't know what you would base such a judgment on. One authoritative source states that over 7,000 authentic cases of human bites from these spiders have been recorded, with only a handful of known deaths, and less than 7% of cases serious enough to need antivenom. So despite the surprisingly large number of bites, this spider is not exactly public enemy number one either.

The Copenhagen Post: with "The Danish News in English" always seems a bit slow being a weekly - if you can read danish you get the news first.
