Spiders (was: Stacking computers)

I usually catch them and chuck them into the gutter drainage outside on my street (I don't want to kill them but then I don't want them easily finding their way back into my garage). One time I came across one that was big and hairy looking. I captured it in a cup, and then dumped her inside a jug of some sort. All of a sudden she exploded apart and then there was a horde of tiny little spiders all over the jug. It turns out she was carrying all her babies who were clinging to every part of her body making her look big and scary. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen. I don't mind the spiders so much but my wife hates them. But I do hate it when they leave webs every damn where, and then droppings of all sorts which I've been unable to identify (is it poop or the parts of the bugs they catch that they don't like to eat?) Yeah, but I don't think anyone wants to hear about my particular fungal growth ;) Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org
