all over the place

I am a bit ambivalent about spiders ,i dont mind em and think everythi ng is here for a reason ,if spiders did not exist imagine the amount of harmful bugs there would be. Some scientist say the level of desease form bugs would of severely hampered human evolution.

found some amazing spider facts below.

#Did you know that those spiders with hair on them are mammals, and thus produce delicious (and unusually cold) milk. Spiders produce milk using the same glands that they produce silk threads with

# Did you know that a single strand of spider web has more potential energy than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki? But because spiders do not naturally exist in areas of high fusion, there is little danger to the average person.

# Did you know that a spider egg contains as much DNA as four humans combined? And that's just one of the unborn spiders, the entire egg sac outnumbers the population of India

# Did you know that spiders cannot physically die of natural causes? If kept safe, a spider can continue to live and grow larger for a theoretically unlimited amount of time. In fact, in China there exists a collection of 'holy' spiders, hatched some 2,800 years ago during the height of the Mang-Tsun dynasty.

# A spider's carapace, if sufficiently scaled, could adequately shield a nuclear blast

# The most valuable spider is the Kenyan Applecrosser. These elegant spiders actually grow beautiful, near-flawless emeralds on their abdomens.

# There's actually an extremely rare spider in Eastern Africa, called the Snow Spider. Its body is completely white, but it spins a completely black web

# Spiders can sustain hundreds of atmospheres of pressure, and can work flawlessly in a vacuum. Scientists have discovered spiders working at both the bottom of the sea and in the ultra-thin atmosphere thirty miles above the Earth.

# That's easy - while spiders are usually known for their webs, they can also weave wind-sailing "parachutes" capable of taking them high above the world below. Furthermore, the so-called WindCurrent Spiders have actually evolved to live without a verticle base - they have lived for hundreds of millenia within the Earths ionosphere. The WindCurrent Spider is cannabilistic, it also retrieves many of its nutrients from sunlight, via a process not unsimilar to photosynthesis.

# The largest spider ever observed by scientists was over 8 feet long and weighed in at 530 pounds. It was actually immobile though, it's legs had been broken long ago by merely carrying its own weight

# The Orange Magma Spider can resist heat up to 5,300 degrees F. Ironically, they exist only at the southernmost tip of the South Pole's largest glacier.

# The average human autopsy procedure in Chicago, IL will reveal roughly 250 small spiders living at points throughout the endocrine and circulatory systems. In New York, NY the average is upwards of 800.

# In conventional psychology the most dangerous concept in dream understanding is the spider - it represents to the human subconscious the eleven stages of grieving (eight legs, torso, two antannae).

# Given sufficient motivation, the Harjack Spider can produce enough silk to suffocate the average human infant in a matter of minutes.

# Harvard Neurologists have discovered that an average spider's brain possesses a greater mental capacity than the world's most brilliant scientists. If their brains didn't lack a cognitive lobe, they'd be more intelligent than Einstein.

# The Shoecase Spider of the Australian Southwest creates and inhabits tiny skyscrapers, made of wooden sticks held together by heavy silk threads. These constructions have been known to be up to fifty feet high in unpopulated areas.

# Did you know that spiders are almost all homosexual? Their species evolved to be that way as a form of population control. That's why there are so many male spiders and so few female. And that's also why the queen kills the male after mating with it, because she views him as a genetic anomaly

# Did you know that millipedes were eventually just strings of dozens of spiders? Evolution changed them into the single animals we know today.

# Did you know that one of the most amazing spiders is the enourmous Seawheel Spider? They evolved in the eighteen hundreds to perfectly emulate the spiked captains wheels on British sailing frigates.

# The United States government spends over four percent of its GDP on methods to eliminate spiders - that's more than the war on terror, the war on drugs and the national parks program combined!

# The cursive 'X' commonly used to represent a variable in basic algebra comes from the spider - it harkens back to ancient Greece, when mathamaticians would use dried spider husks to symbolize their complex equations.

# The word "Spider" comes from an acronym. Scientists investigating spiders in the 17th century would abbreviate "Sample -- Please Investigate Data; Exoskeleton Regular" on their insect containers.

# Not only is owning large spiders legal, in some places it's mandatory! In the Sandwhich Islands British zoologists issue spider kits to natives when they reach the age of sixteen. The spiders are necessary because they ward off a host of local bacterium that would otherwise be dangerous to humans. Anyone found to be without their spider can face stiff fines or jail time.

# In 2001 the space shuttle Atlantis (STS-98) carried a scientific package into orbit which included over 300 spiders. It was found that under microgravity conditions spiders created complex three dimensional silk tunnel networks rather than their traditional flat webs.

Hate spiders.

The 1st time I lived alone, I was in bed 1 evening and seen a HUGE spider wandering across the bedroom floor. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my duvet, and went to the sofa. But couldnt settle cause I knew it was in there.

So, got a large glass vase, went into the room and trapped it.

Slept on the sofa incase it escaped, and had to get my dad down the next day to get rid of it.

Im not so bad now, I can can get the hoover out and suck the little buggers up.

in the night garden

Here is my cautionery tale...

I had a pet spider who lived in a web from my roof to my wheelie bin.

She was called Rosie (I didn't name her, she was already called that).

She was ever so pretty, not like all the other spiders, she had a yellow belly with black spots and was huuuge.

We would have a laugh by me opening the bin lid and shaking her web, she would come running out to see if there was a tastey fly for her only to see me laughing at her hahahahaha

Every bin day I would meticulously detach her web from the bin and attach it to a window sill and every time i went back the next day she had spent all night re-attaching everything to the wheelie bin. This went on for 6 weeks with her and me playing cat and mouse until one day I went to my car as usual and stopped to say hello only to see Rosie there in the web eating Archie my favourite fly (yes I could recognise him, that cute scar on his thorax is unmistakable). Suffice to say the relationship was over, I stood on her immediately... fucking fly eating bitch.

So by all means befriend a spider if you wish but know this! They are wild and will revert to type.

True story.
