TEXAS: In today's biggest news it was reported that Canadian folk/rock singer Neil Young has had a spider named after him. The reasons behind this are relatively uncertain, but it would appear that the spider reminded the scientist who made the discovery a lot of Neil Young.
This may be less than complimentary. According to standard operating procedure, spider species are differentiated by their genitalia, which may mean that the genitalia of this particular spider (a member of the trapdoor genus) made the scientist exclaim, "Hey, that looks just like Neil Young".
The singer/songwriter has not yet officially commented on the honour. However, he is reported to be interested in buying several hundred very small guitars in order than any spider who wishes to follow in his footsteps may be allowed to. The Canadian popster is also rumoured to be recording a new album, a follow-up to 2006's "Living With War", entitled "Living With Baygon". The known track listing at this stage includes:
1. Hey hey, fly fly.
2. Pea-Beau The Killer
3. Web Of Gold
4. Venom Delivery
Meanwhile, some industry pundits are underwhelmed. "He's just copying the Beatles," an unknown spokesman named Stephen Stills told reporters this morning. Neither of the surviving Beatles could be located for comment, as Ringo was busy at a Yasser Arafat look-alike contest and Sir Paul McCartney was taking his daily bath in virgin's blood.
