Well, since we're all relating spider-stories, I'll share a few I have...I've recently destroyed an infestation of small red spiders around my computer station at home.  The big one was in a corner-web, and three had made nests under the keys of my keyboard!  I found that little tidbit out after I was typing and felt something crawling across my fingertips.  Not pleasent.  And a fifth set up shop inside my 'puter's tower, making a nice comfy bed on my graphics card.  I've also learned that spiders are highly suceptible to being stabbed with an X-acto knife.A couple months ago, I was mildly invenomated by a Black Widow while splitting firewood.  One put my uncle in the hospital a few years back, after it bit him on the neck; the second I saw that shiny black body crawling on my arm, I swatted.  Apparently, its fang punctured my skin, because the next day my entire left forearm had increased in size about 50%.  I'm just glad that was all that happened, cuz those things can be deadly (or at least really really bad).And it doesn't help that I'm arachnophobic either...</blockquote>
