Spiders Are Gorgeous . They don't BUG me at all . Do not Sqaush them !!!! They are our Friends , and a wonder of Creation ! They will even shake hands with you ,if you are gentle towards them ; I KNOW that that is true , because it happend for me one day . The world has so much sadness , but Spiders are a joy to behold . Please please don't hurt them . They are also benificial creatures , keeping-down horrible little bugs . Their webs are beautiful , and a wonder of Nature . Being a spider , (or Spider Man ) , would be wonderful . But hopefully , some dumb human would't come along and sqwash me . Go Spiders Go . Love , Rock N Roll Fan .

Interesting, but are they saying that spiders can somehow emit UV rays? Or do they mean that they can detect ones present in their environment? This could prove very useful for people doing captive breeding projects.

And I have no clue what the other two people are babbling about. What does God have to do with any of this?
