Re: Comic books as classroom resource

According to the comic book, Peter Parker got his spider-like "powers" by
being bitten by a radioactive spider. I've done a similar experiment, which
I have yet to publish.  In the 1980's I spent a lot of time working in
underground Fermilab beam tunnels which, besides being slightly radioactive,
are ideal habitats for some forms of wildlife. I can tell you this for a
fact: The superhero thing doesn't work with mosquitoes. Sorry...
