1. These spiders are outside, where Nature intended them to be. However, in the interest of arachnophobes everywhere confronted by the dreaded spider on the ceiling, a tip from Evan's mom: The vacuum cleaner crevice tool (the long skinny tube)-- attached to a running vacuum cleaner, of course -- makes an efficient, no-risk disposal device, that is, until such time as one has children who insist that the poor thing not be killed but removed outdoors.

The comments here use a variation of John Gruber's Markdown. The key differences are that all angle brackets get encoded and that blockquote syntax is slightly different.

• For emphasized text, surround your text with asterisks: *emphasis*. For strongly emphasized text, use two asterisks.
• For inline code, surround your text with backticks: the `<p>` element

• For a bulleted list, start each line of the list with a dash: - bullet item
• For a numbered list, start each line of the list with a number: 1. numbered item
• For a block quotation, start each line of the block quotation with a vertical bar: | "Ask not what your country can do for you...
