Comments on: Effects of football on spiders’ webs http://worldcuphippo.com/2006/06/29/effects-of-football-on-spiders-webs/ Your one-stop shop for the World Cup Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:53:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: The Ghost of Dennis Watts http://worldcuphippo.com/2006/06/29/effects-of-football-on-spiders-webs/#comment-1509 Tue, 04 Jul 2006 09:53:31 +0000 http://worldcuphippo.com/2006/06/29/effects-of-football-on-spiders-webs/#comment-1509 I think our lead spider had a blowout on one of his spinnerets, which caused the other spinnerets to overheat leading to total interruption of silk production. This left Sven with one over-sized tarantula who doesn't weave webs, Spider Jones who was suspended after he was found to be a heavily disguised bee with prosthetic, mechanical spinners and one untried-at-the-top-level spider who he didn't have confidence in, thus highlighting the folly of only taking 4 spiders to a major football tournament.

Thanks Rick. Chapter 48 gets me every time! Jimmy playing up front with Cassius Clay in that charity match, the 'earthquake cup final', and the long anecdote about Roger Hunt's budgie, all in 44 pages. Phew! Of course! Thanks Rick.
