Spiders and petrol |

| I have a spider who's taken up home on the right hand side wing-mirror of my car. Sometimes, on a morning on the way into work, I like to tease him out by lightly tapping the silk of his web. I then watch him come out to eat the fly that's just landed in his web, he gets to the point I touched and finds no fly. He then turns around and goes back behind the wing mirror. I laugh. What a cruel world. He's probably going to die soon. Maybe if he had some oil to offer in exchange I might be persuaded to supply him with just enough flies to keep him alive and healthy enough to build a refinery behind my wing-mirror and supply a feed of petrol to the petrol tank of my car. That'd make driving to work and back much cheaper. It would y'know. |
