I have seen this as a major news headline for almost a week now.
is it just me or is this just stupidly juvenile?
We've known that spiders are hydraulic forever (its why they curl up when they die lack of pressure).. how does toying around with their copses make mainstream headline news?
There was this one case where someone made a quadrocopter out of their dead cat[1]. That was also in the news, while we gained no new knowledge from it. "Look at them, they play with a corpse" is quite newsworthy, apparently. :D
At least in this case, we now know for sure that a spider-powered UFO catcher / claw crane is possible. :P
