Knifley, KY cryptologist deciphers coded SPIDERS message

We should have known they'd know at Knifley. It's practically all they talk about at the Crossroads Store. Science. -CM

Ed, you really need to get out more. Note the Capitalization! As any LW science major would know SPIDERs refers to the United Nations- SPace based Information for Disaster management and Emergency Response program (SP I D ER). The Chinese are in the process or have recently launched a satellite under the auspices of this program to detect earth anomalies that could lead to seismic activity. - Jon Halsey
Thank you, Jon Halsey. My God! I didn't know that and should have. And they tell me Elvis is dead, too. What IS going on in the world? And it goes to show you: Yes, any LW science major (but not a member of Garrison Keillor's Society of English Majors) would know what SPIDERS means. That's why we encourage all little boys and girls to hie themselves to Fugitte Science Center and become scientists. They're the ones who get buildings named for them at LWC. -EW.
