This evening, while I sat at one of the x-ray machines at work, a spider crawled out in front of me. Naturally, I killed it with extreme prejudice -- you catch my eye, you got to die.
Then, I realized how badly I screwed up. If that spider had been living inside the x-ray, and had been heavily irradiated, and I had let it bite me, I could have super-powers right now! I could be an Avenger!
Missed opportunities. :-(
