Beet Spiders are easily identified because they only have seven legs. After millions of dollars worth of government-funded research, scientists have determined that the Beet Spider is so mean that sooner or later it bites one of its own legs off. Some have only six legs, or even five. You really want to stay away from those.
Never bring beets on a boat !!!
A metal is a chemical element displaying certain properties by which it is normally distinguished from a nonmetal, notably its metallic luster, the capacity to lose electrons and form a positive ion, and the ability to conduct heat and electricity. The metals comprise about two-thirds of the known elements. Some metals, including copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, silver, and mercury, were known to the ancients; copper is probably the oldest known metal.
