stir together German Engineering
and American Ingenuity
and a woman who doesn't want
to kill spiders (particularly big ones)
because its bad mojo to
kill a fellow weaver
and
a
happy ending
that spider is called a Huntsman BTW - pretty harmless
because they have trouble moving their body into a position where they
can penetrate our skin with their fangs - but can be scary when you
get up to go to the loo during the night. I've got a few living in
my place - some of them are really big (like 4 1/2 inches) and banded
black and white. I used to keep them as pets when I was a boy.
