...behind the milking desk. Once the spider is groggy, the milker, peering through a low-power stereoscopic microscope, gently picks it up with metal tweezers that are connected to an electrical supply. When a mild shock is administered through the tweezers, the spider promptly spews up pretty much everything liquid inside it--including digestive enzymes. That was a problem early on, until Chuck devised a combined "mouthwash" and venom-collecting system that keeps the two fluids separated using a hollow suctioning needle and a miniature glass pipette...
...book, Garment tells us who he thinks Deep Throat was. Reading Garment brought back a scene to me from 26 years ago - my screen going liquid-wavy, as in a time-dissolve...

But a newly released study in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases is warning that too much of that flavored brew could be increasing your risk for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a painful and debilitating condition of the joints that is caused by excessive inflammation...
...limit itself to the Pentagon's single, simple decoy. The enemy could slip its warhead inside a decoy balloon and deploy it along with a dozen identical balloons, forcing the Pentagon into a futile effort to destroy all of them. The warhead might be cloaked in a shroud of liquid nitrogen, chilling it so that the interceptor's heat-seeking sensors couldn't find it. Chemical or biological weapons might be deployed in dozens of bomblets far too numerous to destroy...
...heat and one detecting visible light--all share the telescope that juts out its front end. The visible-light sensor will get the interceptor into the right neighborhood, but only the infrared sensors can guide it into its target, gently steering it with minithrusters powered by 30 lbs. of liquid rocket fuel. For the heat-detecting sensors to "see" anything, they must be chilled to -330[degrees]F using nitrogen and krypton, funneled to the sensors through a 0.0035-in. diameter pipe...
