eeeeeeeek!

Like a friend of one of my ancestors sang:

Lazy Lob and crazy Cob
are weaving webs to wind me.
I am far more sweet than other meat,
but still they cannot find me!

Here am I, naughty little fly;
you are fat and lazy.
You cannot trap me, though you try,
in your cobwebs crazy.


That fly is an anarchist.

My spiders sometimes try and walk up the walls to make a web but they keep falling off.

I kind of like flies. You just have to open a window and they eventually go out without being asked.



That wasn't exactly a fly that he was quoting. I suggest you read some Tolkien (The Hobbit to be precise).

Up until one century ago there lived,
In the Zi Duang province of eastern country
A glass-like spider
Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons
over its web
In weeks creating a macabre
Shrine of remains
Its web was also unique in that it had many layers
Like floors in a building

At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with
almost apparent
Care, were tiny, shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops
One could almost call it an altar
When the breeze blew
thru this construction
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
Tiny wails, tiny cries

The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically for their mother.
But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies
Would survive somehow
on their own.
Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's.
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries.

Don't you hear this wasted cry,
Life is over you
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell
(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
Take care, take care.
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)

Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone.
But you, you've promise
in your lovin' eye.

God it's dark now.

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah

Gone, Gone the water's all gone
Mummy come back
'cause the water's all gone
Stay low on the ground, fire can drive you,
savage and afraid
Spitting the dawn, come come come along
before the animals awake
Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left.
If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might
Gone, gone, the water's all gone
Mummy come back
'cause the water's all gone

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah

Gone gone the water's all gone
Mummy come back
'cause the water's all gone

You're right, John. It was good ol' Bilbo Baggins who sang this to the giant spiders while saving his friends, the dwarfs.

When we had spiders in the house (we means my family & me) I had to kill the spiders, or when I was absent due to work, the elder sons of my wife :-)

Same here, in Canada. I have to admit to racism against spiders. (Oh Shame! Oh Shame!) I mean, it doesn't much matter how smart or courteous they may be. If a family of six-foot-tall spiders moved into the neighbourhood, I'd probably sell my property and leave! LOL

Oh my god.

I just had a little spider run across my desk.

It was titchy (about the size of my thumbnail) but I've never seen something so small move so fast.

I think I scared it off but it scared me more...


I hate spiders

They tickle when they scurry across my hand..

eek..
