Sorry upfront if this question's been posted prior. I've checked lotsa threads and was unable to find an answer to my question. Anyway,

I see lotsa questions about Caedes; Who is *caedes, What does Caedes mean, How do you pronounce Caedes, etc., etc.

My question? The Caedes Spider Logo, how did that come about?

Cheers!!
Randy

I've never had deja vu before, I think I did have vuja de once though. Was my question a prior posting? I was unable to find one such as this.

Thinking I might get the spider tattooed on my forearm but fear I'd keep slapping at it each time I looked at it. ~thinking to self...maybe on my butt, then I wouldn't see it, yet, the chicks would dig it...maybe even try slapping it a few times thinking they're killing it...yeah, that's a win, win situation~

caedes -is f. [cutting down , killing, slaughter]. Transf., [persons slain; blood shed in slaughter].

That's the definition in the Latin-English dictionary... It doesn't work in other dictionaries, though...

spiders kill people often (with bloodshed). (A few female spiders kill their guys after mating!) I previously thought it had some relation to the word arachnid, but it doesn't.. :(

Or the spider logo means the site traps people in its web...and once you're here, you can't leave...And everytime a new image is posted, that's like the spider sucking the real life out, and making us more addicted to the virtual life (and this site)..

That seems to be the most sensible explanation...

Spider ... web?

These things go together? Hmm, who woulda thunk it?

Me, I think the spider logo was employed because not many would have got the neutrino one. Go ahead ... try and illustrate "an electrically neutral particle with negligible mass." :oP

I might have the answer...

Definition from dictionary.com
Another meaning of spider - a computer program that prowls the internet looking for publicly accessible resources that can be added to a database; the database can then be searched with a search engine

I got the idea from here. They were talking about "spidering" in this forum..

Edit: When I clicked the link above, it got me to the right forum, but the forum didn't have the comments??

I have an idea. Lets start pasting the logo onto t-shirts and start selling them. When we are finally thrown in jail because the opposing side hired a better lawyer, all we have to do is ask who hired him.

Speaking of marketing, what would a Caedes action figure look like? College Student with Out of Style Hair doesn't sound to catchy...you think our hero is a super ?

No No, I have a different hair style now.

About the logo: I was just playing around with circles in photoshop and came up with the design. I think it developed out of a crescent moon.

This is interesting - I almost did a double-take when it flashed in my mind

Spiders always have eight legs - so the logo is clearly not a spider!!!!

It's some kind of insect or bug instead!!!

Four visible legs didn't look right. One set of legs is just hidden. So there's no need to get all arachno-technical.

How do you hide a spider's legs? Braid them together and tie them at the feet with spider silk? :)

Hmmmm...do you take the spider to the barber's for a shave often? Or get his calf muscle slimmed down through surgery? 'Cause I don't see any hair or muscle on the spider's legs :)

Poor spider...must dislike Geri pulling off a pair of legs just to make it look right.. Now I see why caedes means carnage.
