I realize that Hemingway spoke of the running of the bulls in Pamplona, and that this is a yearly event. I have often wondered when the event began, the historical signifance behind it, and if like so many other traditions, does it have a particular meaning that only someone from that part of the country would understand?
PLEASE, PLEASE, only serious answers. Nor do I wish to hear from anyone from PETA. I want only to know the history behind this event.

I am a single mother and I do not qualify to send my son to pre-k in the state of Texas, however I cannot afford to send him to a preschool...Most preschools are $150.00 per week. What can I do? Are there programs out there for my son? Besides at home I want him to start some kind of academic curriculum.

Structural analysts can identify vibration modes, and often locate defective structural elements, by measuring vibrational responses while applying a driving signal to the strudture under examination. This is referred to as system identification (SI). When you lightly disturb the webs of spiders of particular species (e.g., daddy longlegs) you will see the spider pumping his body to shake the web, sometimes by a reciprocating motion and sometimes by whirling in circular motion. He invariably finds a resonant frequency and his oscillations can become pretty large. Could he be employing SI to detect the presence of, and possibly locate, a prey insect? Web sites I have seen state that the shaking serves either to further entrap the prey, or as a form of camouflage for the spider itself. Could SI also be a reason? Detection/location by SI could be useful at night or if the spider's eyesight isn't very clear.

When I was young, my Mother forbid me to touch butterflies because according to her, the dust could enter my eyes and blind me. Of course, I still touched butterflies but I was extremely careful not to rub my eyes when I did handle them.

Can it really cause blindness?
