    Se parece que los muchachos bolivianos leían demasiados libros de tiras cómicos y no estudiaban la entomología. (It seems the Bolivian boys read too many comic books and didn’t study entomology.)

    Did any comic book or movie ever say what kind of spider bit Peter Parker? Maybe it was only a daddy long legs instead of a horrifying-looking black widow?

    What? Fish meat is not meat? Then what is it, a vegetable?

    Seriously, everyone knows that the spider needs to be radioactive!

    Silly boys. You were about to turn into Black Widow, not Spider-Man, if that spider bit you too hard.

    Wow, first this Filet-o-Fish fact turns up in Tuesday’s “Weakest Link,” now here.

    The kids obviously did not have a cyclotron to irradiate the spider before being bit (read the Marvel origin story) /s.

    Before the Filet-O-Fish, McDonald’s experimented with the Hula Burger, which was a pineapple slice on a bun, topped with cheese and ketchup. Needless to say, it didn’t go over well.

    Spider-Man would need feet as big as European 145 shoes (if he ever needed them).

    Fillet-O-Fish & Fries totally my favorite! Now as for this need of pineapple on pizza or burgers is beyond my understanding?

    well, when you own a fishing fleet, and you need to sell the fish to make the fleet profitable and you happen to be the Pope; you can decree days of sacrifice on which red meats and poultry cannot be consumed. I think this goes back to Pope Leo II without fact checking I am not positive of when it started, only why.

    And the Filet-O-Fish is still the worst fish sandwich I’ve ever had!

    I’m sure Muslims appreciate that sandwich too, since it is the only one that is halal (fish).

    So, a gentleman waits patiently to visit with the Pope. The pope finally has the time, and the man is escorted to his chambers. He bows, and says his salutations to the Pontif.

    The pope asks, “What is on your mind, my son?”

    The man says, "Father, I am here representing the hard working brewers in the world. We have collected over $1Billion US and want to contribute it to the church. We ask just a simple favor. Change the Lord’s prayer, from “Give us this day, our daily bread” to daily BEER. "

    The pope looks at him, and says that is no small matter, these are the words of Matthew 6:11 written by Matthew as dictated from god.

    The man smiles, and says, Father, beer is made from grains, hops and barley, so you are still supporting the farmers who make bread as well. It is a lot of money and can do so much good.

    The pope says he must think on this and excuses himself. He walks over to a cardinal and asks “when does our contract wtih Wonderbread expire?”

    How do we know there are lava tubes on the moon? Could they be used for stowage or sealed for habitat?

    I usually have fish on Tuesday and Thursday, and sometimes on Saturday.

    Wow, McD’s made that sandwich specifically for Catholics? I’m Catholic and didn’t know that. I mean, I’ve gotten it because of it being a Friday during Lent, but I didn’t know that was WHY they made it.

    When I lived where the black widow was common (Arizona), I wouldn’t let one of these near me, much less bite… they would get the tip of a broom stick, the sole of a shoe, or sometimes, a can of flammable spray and a lighter… fire cleanses ALL… ;-)

    It’s a good thing our lunar landings didn’t accidentally drop into one of those lava tubes ! ;o]

    The moon is actually a hollow planet eater.

    Guess where the next meeting between the Pope and tRump will be.

    The same boys were hospitalized last year for trying to become Butch and Sundance.

    Are any of those lava tubes big enough to hold the thing that almost swallowed the Milennium Falcon?

    Nobody wants to talk about fish sandwiches or lava tubes?

    As an amateur astronomer, I had never heard of giant lava tubes that wide or deep. Not sure what resources or scientific data they are using here. (Sorry, I’m not usually “that guy.”)

    I previously read that a franchisee thought a fish sandwich would sell better than another sandwich McDonald’s wanted to introduce. He got permission to offer the fish sandwich, and it did sell better.

    I don’t remember if that occurred during Lent.
