They're practice-driders. Lolth had to get it right before she started templating failed drow, so she bought a bunch of goats from the Olympians, and so here we go. Lolth's dirty secrets aired!

This reminds me of a short story by David Brin. As I'm not at home, I don't remember the title.. but in the story, women use their uteri to develop all manner of useful industrial products.

Is New Hampshire into that kind of thing? Huh, it's always the quiet ones you have to worry about.

What really struck me as fascinating, is that this isn't just theoretical or they are in the infantile stages of it. They actually have a living breathing goat that produces silk. Unreal.
