I am pretty fascinated by spiders. Yes, they look like pure evil when they're scuttling across your living room floor but they are still interesting and highly useful creatures.

I remember once when I was absolutely hammered in my early 20's, I was chatting to a spider outside my Dad's flat for about 15 minutes. He was nice. His name was Clive and he worked as a fly catcher. It's quite a common trade among the arachnid family, so he says.
