What are your muscles attached to?

+ y'know, water pressure.

      - No - definitely fish
        
        They have bendy skeletons made of cartilege rather than bone - amazing the things you learn reading to a 7yr old. Very interesting creatures.
        
        I know all sorts about venomous spiders as well.

        Exo-skeleton like insects
        
        Effectively, soft on the inside, bones on the outside. That's why they crunch when you crush them. When you see tarantulas jumping around in horror films, that's all bollocks. If a taratula fell onto a hard surface from a relatively low height they would be fatally injured.

because if they didn't they'd be molluscs or crustaceans

imagine a world where a cartoon cat cannot show that they have

just eaten a fish. Are you imagining it? Do you want to live in that world? No you don't.

        It's a fun heist film
        
        I think there might have been boobs in it because I watched it with my family and my Dad always says *Whoops* every time there are boobs or sex on screen.

        Jamie Lee Curtis in underwear I think. A few years after she got them out in Trading Places.
        
        Oh, and it has John Cleese's naked arse.
