"All hail the Spider God," said a press release issued by the National Party. "The new National candidate for Epsom in 2011."
"The Spider God is not well-known by the general public but it is held in high regard within the National Party. It once ruled over a pre-human civilisation on the ruins of which the Maori pa that gradually became Auckland were built and it is worshipped by the criminally insane, in addition to which it enjoys strong relationships within the Auckland business community. We think the Spider God is the ideal candidate to represent Epsom for the next hundred thousand years."
According to biographical notes on its Facebook page, the Spider God is older than our universe by more time than we can imagine, has left countless billions of worlds lifeless and shrouded in silk and has served on the boards of Lion-Nathan and Huljich Wealth Management.

While we're on media making connections with the topic of the moment
As if it needed saying, I don't recommend that anyone read the Kiwiblog thread on Te Papa.
Normally I'd now be posting a slew of whacked-out quotes from the comments but there are some dumpsters even I won't dive in.

Start posting music clips and we'll see
I generally have terrible taste in music, and this clip isn't the best quality either, but the tune's been stuck in my head for a good couple of weeks since hearing it on the radio one night...

So this is the official unofficial Friday thread then?

Still not as much SAG as the Hobbit thread.

Finding out what a petard actually is was a great moment
Yup, found out last week courtesy of Hamlet... a fine moment in vocab expansion.
