The Entertainer. The Jew? Perhaps. Sadly, our hope of a Jewish Billy the Kid is only floating down The River of Dreams. Yes, both of Billy's parents were Jewish, but he went to a Catholic church, got baptized (Don't Ask Us Why), and he's currently Keeping The Faith in an Atheist State of Mind.
Fossilised spider 'biggest on record'. Read more about sharing. Scientists say a fossilised spider from the Inner Mongolian region of China is the biggest yet found. The female, which lived about 165 million years ago, belongs to a collection of spiders well known today - the golden orb weavers. These creatures make webs from a very tough and distinctively golden silk.
On average the new species is the largest of all golden orb weavers known. A specimen of the new spider, named Nephila komaci, was first found in 2000 in the Plant Protection Research Institute in Pretoria, South Africa.
