For all you coffee drinkers out there...

Well, I was attempting to type a response, but forgot what I was typing, so I re-read your message, opened the link again, started to type, but then realized I didn't at all catch what the link actually contained. So I went to re-read your messsage again, but couldn't seem to click on the link (can't seem to get my mouse pointer to "hold still" this morning). But I'm sure whatever it is you sent is great; in the meantime, I'm gonna go get some more coffee ... :rolleyes:

Well since I'm not a spider and I don't have a spiders vasculatory system, receptors, nervous system and really nothing in common with a spider I'm not going to take anything from this other than someone was really bored to do this. Interestingly similar studies showed pouring caffeine, beer, marijuana, meth, speed, horoine on different but related boulders of rock (from the same family of stone obviously) scientists were fascinated when they observed no change at all and they quickly sought a way to apply the results to college freshmen and sophomores do to the similarities. No correllation was found but it did create a lot of spam on the internet. :)

This leads me to ask... if spider-man drank coffee would he be unable to concentrate on crime fighting? :laugh: ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. but it ROCKS absolutely, too.

The lesson being that a stoned spider can can still spin a web, which is more [than] I can claim. BW

An urban legend to me. I couldn't find anything to prove it, though, but it really sounds strange NASA scientists studying spiders constructing webs under the influence of chemicals. From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."

I think he'd be able to concentrate on the general task of crime fighting, but would constantly be slamming into buildings due to misplaced and mis-spun webs. -- Russell Morris "So, broccoli, mother says you're good for me... but I'm afraid I'm no good for you!" - Stewy

Actually a quick google did provide the necessary references.
A NASA Tech Brief from April 1995 concerns the use of spider-web patterns to determine toxicity. Where can I get a copy, and are there other articles pertaining to this research? The original citation was in NASA Tech Briefs, MFS-28921, April 1995. Subsequent articles appear in: "New Toxicity Testing System," High Tech Breakthroughs, Bottom Line/Business, Nov. 1996 p. 14 There is a discussion of this article with pictures in December 1995 issue of Organic Gardening magazine, p8http://science.nasa.gov/faq/NASA%20Tech%20Brief.pdf[^] _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Caffene is a toxin used to kill tree frogs in Hawaii. http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20030104/bob9.asp[^] My guess is that it is pretty toxic for the spider.
