Bart, all

I would have thought that the spider met the same fate as the zillion 
sleeping mosquitos that were hibernating in a celler where I ran my coil 
once: They woke up, and got zapped to an extent where the zooty leftovers 
from them created a mess.

But I have a feeling that you are a friendly guy, Bart. Unlikely to report 
trivial "spidercide". Or is that: "Phalangidacide".

We are living in a funny segment of time:

In the start of LOTR "The return of the king" notice how it is avoided to 
show Smeagol threading that worm on to the hook:
"No worms were harmed during the creation of this film"

I trust you, Bart, to have a similar comforting end to your little tale.

Happy new year to all!

Cheers, Finn Hammer
