Gullible people will repeatedly believe the words of a liar. It doesn’t matter if that liar is actually human or not. People who don’t think much of thinking will hold such liars as authorities, often putting them in positions where their authority can do some real harm.

Anyone have suggestions for a pet tarantula? Namely one who likes to occasionally be magically gigantified? (Female if it matters)
