It was announced yesterday that DARPA, the U.S. Defense
Department's experimental munitions
and materiel unit, put out a request for recipes for
homemade bombs.
This is apparently in reaction to the recent spate of ISIS bombing using things
that you can get in an ordinary pharmacy. It
appears that the U.S. government is trying to put together a cookbook of
recipes, possibly with the intent of monitoring the
shipments of hair bleach to California.
But venomous creatures around the world are upset.
"Arf", as he is known, a coral snake from Belize,
told us: "Listen, the unemployment rate of
venomous creatures, certainly in this area, is huge. Why are people running around with
chemicals when I've got enough venom right here in my glands
to knock off an entire battalion?"

Arf then brought in Tina, a Black Widow Spider, to speak
with us. I asked Tina about her
interests.

"I'm a small spider but I can zap a few bad guys in seconds. I don't do good guys, only bad ones. I'm a widow, so I need the work. I have a few of my own to take care of."
What was clear after speaking with Arf and Tina, is that
there is plenty of venom around, but jobs are scarce.
DARPA ought to take advantage of the venom and natural talent that is
available.
