Twitter twouble and scary spiders

Posted by: Nik Taylor

The wheels of the world’s social networks ground to a halt this Thursday as both Twitter and Facebook experienced serious outages. Twitter’s left it out-of-play for practically the whole day, and our most read news story of the week reported the theory that a spotty teenager had perpetrated the whole thing from their bedroom.

The next most popular story to break this week is one to avoid if you’re an arachnophobe. Scientists have recreated some 300-million-year-old spiders, after using CT scans on their fossils. The bugs were the size of 50p coins, with claws around their mouths and spikes on their backs. And… is that one on your shoulder?!
