Every dozen or so years, studies on the effects of various drugs on spiders’ web-weaving abilities re-surface. There’s probably some serious science behind this, but I can’t help feeling that it’s a bunch of scientists doing the grant-funded equivalent of getting your dog drunk. Except probably without the resultant doggy incontinence & vomiting problems. I...

You know every pothole on your route, and could ride the whole way without hitting a single one, with your eyes closed.
You still ride around the potholes that were fixed months ago. To the drivers behind you, this behaviour is as inexplicable as the motion of the planets before Copernicus.

Remember the German bear who tried to make good his escape from the zoo by stealing a bike ? Well it seems that they’re all at it.
