Gonna Ride My Spider

"Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were, except you never had a spider named after you, so I'm better," is probably what Neil Young is saying, or at least thinking, following news that (you guessed it) some hippie scientist douche-bag has decided to make a mockery of the naming classification system by exposing how open it is to abuse, and naming a spider after whining Canadian, Neil Young.

Jason Bond, a hippie of East Carolina University, discovered the foul, hairy creature cowering beneath a trapdoor some years ago, and liked it so much that years later he decicded to name a spider after it. (Bud-dum). 

Myrmekiaphila Neilyoungi is commonly known as The Whining Hunchbacked Git Spider, and improves no end with a backing band.

Other insects named after famous rock stars include Orectochilus Orbisonorum. or The Whirligig Beetle, and Scathophagidae Lennikravitz, The Shit-Eating Bastard Fly.

Anyone who remembers the very important computer game Colonization will be aware that having a pesky insect (or whatever) named after you is indicative of a rather low score:

"In memory of your deeds, the Citizens of New England/France/Holland/Spain give your name to...

An Infectious Disease
A Stinging insect
A Poisonuos Plant
A Venomous Snake
A Prison
A Fast Food Chain
A Street
A Flower
A School
An Apple
A Bridge
A Bird
A College
A Mountain
A Prestigious Award
A River
A University
A Mountain Range
An Inland Sea
A Football Team
A State of the Union
A Capital
A Nation
A CONTINENT."

As you can see, Young has some way to go before having a, for example, fast food chain named after him.
