I live about 200km (~125 miles) from Bowen; in a small city called Townsville, Queensland - population 150,000. Brisbane is the capital city of this state, and maybe more likely to be known by an international audience(?)

Nah, Townsville was in Powerpuff Girls, so it's the one we all know.

Actually, spiders have book lungs, sort of a slightly fancier spiracle with more effective surface area. More efficient gas transfer but not anything like a mammalian lung.

You know where there's a good article about book lungs? Wikipedia.

I usually hear that called "rep surfing".
