Andrea Stacey on Eyring-L found a CBC news report site, with lots of
photos. Be sure to look at these right before you go to bed tonight...

[ZION] 24-ha "arachnid homestead" in B.C.

2002-11-30 Thread Marc A. Schindler
Unfortunately I can't find an online link, and it wouldn't have the
spooky pictures anyway, but a 24-ha (60-acre) spider web (really a
collection of inter-connecting webs, of course) has been found on a
farmer's field near McBride, B.C., about 220 kilometres east of Prince
George, close to the Alberta border in a valley just west of the
Rockies. It was put together by untold millions of tiny black spiders
(Halorates ksenius), and the accompanying picture in our Edmonton
Journal looks like a bunch of teenagers or movie special effects people
were given too much rubber cement and went nuts on a fence and
surrounding shrubbery. It is really eerie looking!

Old joke from Gulf War I: "what movie is scaring Baghdad residents these
days? Iraqnaphobia, of course."
