It's cool he has that power.

If you were to name a spider, would you use a Godsmack song? Or a MCR song, if your profile is in fact Gerard Way? Lol.

Who knew there were so many Bowie spoods .
And can we just stop for a minute and appreciate the fact he called one Bowie hunkydory, B ziggystardust and b ladystardust .
It's a personal running joke in my family whenever the spiders are on the side of their viv all stretched out we sing , there's a star spood waiting on the side you have to sing it to Bowies starman seems only right there are 100 spoods named after him ... circles n all that
