When I asked the question, "whatsa rick?", I had no idea the thread
would morph into Haggis and arachnophobia.
Doing a "define:rick" on Google yields:
* pile in ricks; "rick hay"
* crick: a painful muscle spasm especially in the neck or back
(`rick' and `wrick' are British)
* haystack: a stack of hay
* twist: twist suddenly so as to sprain; "wrench one's ankle"; "The
wrestler twisted his shoulder"; "the hikers sprained their ankles
when they fell"; "I turned my ankle and couldn't walk for several
days"

* Rick is a 2003 movie based on Verdi's Rigoletto starring Bill
Pullman and written by Daniel Handler.

* Rick was the professional name used by a long-haired, male model
of Chinese origin, most famous for appearing in The All-Nude
Workout Video (1992), which was widely marketed in the UK
throughout the 1990s. He appears along with Susan and David
Martin, a naturist couple, performing a variety of aerobic
exercises and also practising weightlifting. Additionally, he
featured in the video guide to naturist photography, Shooting
the Nude in the Nude.

Note: No mention of lumber, wood, cooling off, warming up, fires,
stoves, haggis, gas, spiders, or Yorkshiremen, clothed or not. After 18
years of heating with wood and wondering if there was a better way to
warm up in winter, we discovered that someone had already invented
central heat.
