While reading something unrelated, I ran into the term "waldoes" and wondered what it meant. Turns out that waldoes are handheld devices for manipulating objects at a distance, like those claw things old people sometimes use. The term comes from a Heinlein story, oddly enough. But that's not the point.

The point is that during my search, I checked out Google Images. I expected a bunch of incorrect results involving "Where's Waldo." Was that what I got? No no, that would have made too much sense.

Here's the first page of results, which is full of -- naturally -- Spider-Man.

(It turns out this is because of the "Iron Spider" costume Spidey was wearing for the first half of Civil War, which had three retractable arm things. This of course explains why those images mostly show him in costumes other than the Iron Spider suit.)
