Show me a scientist who realizes that just because something can be done, doesn’t mean that it should be done.

PLEASE

Still out of colored ink, huh!

Previously held by the guy who came up with jalapeno-infused laxatives.

Those are probably a lot of fun.

A step towards Spider-Batman.

“Show me the scientists who discovered how to splice a bat with a spider…”

….and I’ll show you a real super-hero who managed to bring together and merge the MCU and DC movie franchises.

Such an abomination would actually cause me to purchase a weapon.

It better be farther than 100 yards.

There was a Slider’s episode where someone had created a spider wasp hybrid – it didn’t go well

Some laboratories are hell.

Spider Bat, Spider Bat, does whatever a spider can’t.

I have bats in my neighborhood, and they do a great job keeping the mosquito population under control. I don’t even mind finding most spiders in my house, either, as they are eating other insects that may have found a way in. Once in a while, I will be startled when seeing a spider, but then I just wet some tissue paper, cover it, pick it up as gently as I can, and let it go outside.

Is this how COVID started.

I found one on Reddit.

Crossing a bat with a spider? Sounds like a spin off of The Metamorphosis by Kafka.

You may watch the world in color

In the corner burning bright

You may watch the world in color

But you dream in black and white

Spider webs: the bane of walkers and joggers who exercise in the morning before sunrise. I am glad Fall is upon us. That means fewer webs I take in the face each morning.

Little known fact: The Nobel Prize for the fastest 100-yard dash from a laboratory actually exists. For unknown reasons, however, the Nobel Committee has decided to keep its existence secret.

Last year, the prize was won by mad scientist Gulliver G. Gullible. Gullible’s exploits are so controversial that all publishers of reference books, without exception, have agreed to keep his name out of their dictionaries.

Must be what the Oakland Athletics did this year to have such a poor record.

My guess is you gotta go to Wuhan to see that.

My mind immediately went to baseball bat. I was trying to figure out what that would look like.

A bat that builds nests for bugs or a spider that catches bugs on the fly? Interesting.

You don’t splice ‘with’. You splice ‘to’.

If Spider-Bat dressed up as a man to fight crime, would he be Spider-Batman? ☺

Pretty sure the Nobel folks don’t have such a category in their awards list.

I wonder how it would work if Batman got Spidey senses?

Black & white doesn’t bother me. My childhood happened before Kodak invented color. I became adjusted to it. Thanks Kodak!

SpiderBat, SpiderBat, sung to the tune of Spiderman

A sticky situation for Who on first … the ball stuck to the bat.

Is that going to be a Spat or a Bider?

It’s a work in progress, figuring out how to join the flying chromosomes with the creepy-crawly base pairs. Efforts so far have only resulted in Vincent Price

It would depend on which features were spliced from which critter. Most combinations couldn’t even survive. Exoskeleton versus endoskeleton. Brain in the cranium versus brain around the other location. Eye systems. And there are many different bats: vampire, of course, and fruit bats for example. Many different kinds of spiders.

Not a bad concept for monsters but monsters are not the only possible outcomes.

..Spider-Bat-Man? or Bat-Spider-Man? Either way expect a call from the lawyers for both DC and Marvel.

I don’t mind either one individually …… but crossed ……. that would be pushing the envelope a little too much …… :)

That particular Internet meme/Photoshop job disturbed my sleep. https://i.imgflip.Com/
