Summary

Scientists have created "daddy shortlegs," a stunted version of the common household pest daddy longlegs, by suppressing the genes behind the arachnid's famously elongated limbs. Anthony and Jeff ask why - and how - and are surprised by the answers.

Jeff and Anthony discuss whether this diminishes or enhances the famous artistry at work.
