That is a good one. I suppose I can't prove I am not a malevolent spider

[Glaurung]

Well, you didn't appear to be one when we met in the pub, but if you mention "human hands" or "internal skeletons" then I might become suspicious.

[Tusky]

No of course not. I'll just discuss normal human things like usual. Isn't being bipedal just so much fun you guys? I can't tell what I enjoy most, having a double circulatory system or just two eyes, which is somehow enough.

[Glaurung]

Thanks, Tusky, that's totally reassuring, and not at all likely to make me think you're an intelligent arachnid and the real Tusky is trussed up in a corner somewhere. Not that I have anything against arachnids of course.

[Tusky]

Did you know that the Utah Crab Spider is usually only found in Winnipeg and Manitoba area?

[Glaurung]

Once again, this is a Winnipeg-related fact that I did not know. Clearly my education has been severely deficient up to this point. All I can say is that if it's a "Utah" spider, it's now a long way from home.

[Tusky]

That's is very true. A misnomer if ever I saw win.

Sorry I mean "one".

[Glaurung]

A teensy Freudian slip there, perchance?

[Tusky]

It's a Freudian win

[Glaurung]

I don't think wins have to be Freudian - they're usually quite obvious and don't involve any peculiar psychological effects. Like this one

[Tusky]

What about a Freudian Winnipeg?

[Glaurung]

I suspect the citizens of Winnipeg would become annoyed with you if you suggested their city was a Freudian anything. I expect nearly all of them are convinced of their city's physical reality, and would reject any suggestion of it as a psychological artifact.

[Tusky]

Oh well

Win

[Glaurung]

Indeed, well done!
