众所周知,不同物种有各自喜爱的居所。
蝙蝠喜穴居,考拉以桉树为家,而黄囊蜘蛛偏偏爱上了有2009-2010版的4缸马自达6的金属排气管。
蜘蛛的内心世界
这些蜘蛛还经常在美洲的大树和灌木丛等汽车以外的地方安家落户。
但它们若选择以汽车为家,必选2009-2010年版的马自达6。
这个问题实在太过普遍,马自达公司不得不召回65000辆车,以清除里面的蜘蛛部落。
蜘蛛不光看着恶心,它们结的网还堵住燃料管道,容易引起漏油甚至发动机起火。
没人知道这些蜘蛛为什么只选择特定年份的4缸马6,6缸马6的马力要大得多,反倒不受青睐。
一位昆虫学家指出,这很可能是因为这款汽车的某条生产线所在的工厂闹过虫灾。
当然,这么浅显的原因,马自达公司不会没考虑到,因为果真如此的话,这个问题很容易就能搞定,总比只说声“是啊,我们那13000美元的车子里有蜘蛛居住”造成的公关危机要小很多。
事实上他们差不多也就是这么说的。
马自达发言人JeremyBarnes说,“我们真不知道车里有蜘蛛。
这事确有蹊跷。
其实有比这更非同寻常的情况,但这个坏到极点。
”如此说来,要么是马自达公司的公关部门没搞明白自己在说些什么,要么是蜘蛛们对汽车的口味相当刁钻。
比黄囊蜘蛛要远难对付的狼蛛则对STI情有独钟。
每日电讯报
悉尼的河林小学的学生过完暑假,返回学校,重新面对繁重的作业、沉闷的学习,还有,游戏室里1.5升的一滩血。
这可不是划伤或流鼻血的结果。
1.5升差不多是成年男性30%的总血量,失血这么多会引发三级失血性休克,需要输血。
不只是一般的皮肉伤
这一发现引起诸多疑问,比如,一个受了重伤的人怎么能对这所周围是6英尺栅栏、大门紧锁的学校出入自如而且还没留下一滴血迹或其它痕迹?
最大的疑问可能是这究竟是谁的血?
目前为止,DNA测试结果只能说明这是人类的血且此人为男性,另外这名男性的DNA与罪犯DNA数据库中的数据无一匹配。
此案的调查小组(不知何故名曰“打击部队洗衣房”)还认为这是儿童的血,原因是,这间游戏室非常狭小。
只有绝大多数成年人才能舒舒服服待在这么小的房子里。
