Comments: "I was having a recurrent nightmare about
spiders and the spider in this nightmare was particularly big.
To add to the
magnitude of the somnial anomaly, I was a midge. I was becoming spindled up
in thousands of miles of spider silk.
Thankfully I woke up to find that the
silk was no more than a duvet of high tog-value, and the spider was a side effect
of
a very ripe stilton cheese from the previous evening."

The Nazca Indians
created a collection of land drawings which includes this spider below.
The 1400 year old Nazca
Lines were made by selectively removing surface stones from the soft topsoil
on the Pampa Colorada in Southern Peru.
