Well, looking at that thing, I would also deny any envolvement in its making... :)

Awww.... he's cute as can be!

One could say that about spiders, too.... :)

Yes, but one would be wrong. :-)

Well, may be spiders are also trying to look cute? It just doesn't work most of the time.

I'm sure they're cute to other spiders.

My so far unpublished SF novel features a race of aliens who look uncannily like spiders--and my main character is arachnophobic, but has a friendship with one of them.

What a coincidence! Is he a firefighter as well, by any chance? :)

Well, may be cute is not the right word when it comes to spiders. Or octopusses, Nevertheless they are amazing creatures. Like those tiny jumping spiders, that look like a creation for a Pixar movie. Only we never notice that, until we see a massively enlarged photo of it.
And both spiders and octopusses are probably the closest to an alien that we can find on earth. Well, may be a few more, like slime funguses...

Nope, he's a soldier, although the story does start with a fire, in a way. A lot of my characters hate spiders, though--definitely a case of an author inserting himself into the characters!

There's a serious theory going around that octopusses might be literally alien--the descendants of some kind of microbial life brought here on a meteor or comet. They're THAT different from the rest of us! Say, maybe the Kardashians are aliens ...

That sounds a bit like "Enemy Mine"... :)

Well, there is a theory that ALL life on earth is origining from material that was brought here by asteroids or so, from other star systems. Or may be intentionally by a alien race? Who knows...

In the case of the Kardashians, may be its the same - perhaps they were marooned here by their own people, as far away as possible from their home world.
