Do spiders appreciate being moved outside?

[COBBLE]

Thanks to all contributors for your comments and advice. Best laugh of the evening with Monday looming. Genuine thanks. I like spiders but my wife does not and affects some sort of pretend paralysis and distress until I go through the same old glass and paper routine. (about 80% survive with most limbs attached.) I now feel the spiders are getting a crap deal and think I'm going to have to think again.

I think BOT only started this thread as a way of bragging that he has a downstairs toilet. Flash tw@t.

Reminds me of a classic thread.

Poster 1: I'm not posh, I don't get out of the bath for a p!ss
Poster 2: posh get, I don't get out of the bath for a ****.

Two pages on spiders on a football forum...just goes to show the diversity on here

There was a scientist working away in obscurity for years with peculiar experiments on spiders. After years and years he placed an advertisement in several academic journals to let the community know he was going to host a live show to demonstrate his findings.

At the event hundreds were there more out of curiosity than anything as the details of the findings were kept secret. The man himself wandered on stage and silenced the murmurs.

'Today I will demonstrate two things. The first is that spiders can understand and respond to basic commands.'

The crowd laughed and snickered but undeterred the scientist opened a box on his desk and a spider crawled out.

'Spider, walk left'

The spider moved to its left. The crowd was silenced.

'Spider, move right.'

The spider moved right. The crowd gasped. Forward, backward, the spider responded again and again. The crowd applauded in awe.

The scientist then removed all of the spider's legs. The crowd, confused by this, watched in silence.

'Move left'

The spider didn't move.

'Move right'

Nothing. Forward, backward, no response.

'This is to demonstrate my second finding. Once you remove a spider's legs, it goes deaf.'

Quite like spiders. It's those things that look like MarkII Vauxhall Astras I don't like. Conservatory is full of the little buggers.

David Bowie had some spiders from Mars in the early 1970s. Now how cool is that?

Spiders are greedy. 8 legs is just far too many, it’s selfish having that many legs. Any spider that dares come into my home is thrown down the toilet, and I think even that’s too good for them.

I have found over the years that spiders rather like water so I expect they will appear somewhere else.
