wait, you pick up spiders with the same hands you use to type in this forum?
#@jlw - CAN WE GET A PERMA-BAN HERE?
And if possible, make sure he doesn’t come within 5 IP addresses of any of the rest of us.

Asking for a ban? Hmmm…
Why take chances?

Scientist says it is entirely possible. Oh really ? Apparently it is since they are there and there are authentic photos. Wonder if the scientist even bothered to get up and go there to see. A prime example of scientists’ attitude.
Are you saying this is all a hoax?
You’ve just quoted everyone in my house except for me! Yes, I am the designated spider-carrier-to-the-outside…as I remind everyone, spiders eat mosquitoes, so I for one am grateful to them.
However, raining spiders and pastures covered in spider webs elicit the biggest NOPE imaginable. There are some things up with which I will not put.

FWIW, this is a Golden silk orb-weaver spider. They live in large colonies of very messy web.
When you hear scientists talking about strength of spider-silk, this is the one they’re referring to.
I’ve had fishing rods snag and bend, rather than snap the silk.

No I am not. I just find it funny that a scientist states it being entirely possible. Obviously it must be since it has happened.
Thus the statement sounds rather amusing.

Scientists are aware that sometimes observations are done wrong, and not everything you see is what you think you see.
That’s about it.
