Spiders

Today at work Alexis was cleaning the window seals off and she found this little guy just hanging out right in the center of his web. She came and grabbed me to show me him and ask if I knew what kind of spider he was... Automatically as I walked up to the window I said that it was for sure a black widow until I actually looked at it and saw that there is no red belly... it's got like wite marks down its belly instead of the red dot....
We asked Larry because he is usually the fountain of random knowledge and we thought for sure he would know, but he didn't even know what it was, he told us that it was Charlotte from Charlotte's Web, but although this spider does look like an amazing web maker, I just don't think that there are going to be words in the web tomorrow, don't worry I'll take a picture and let you know if it happens... and probably cut out newspaper clippings for it too.


Nick took this pictures for me. I really wanted a picture of it from the outside of the window, but I was way too afraid to actually go outside to take the picture, who knows if that spider was just waiting on his web for me to come outside and snap a picture of him so he could then turn around and attack me with multiple spider bites, because I mean look at him... He's HUGE and looks like he could be pretty mean if the wrong papratize crowd came taking pictures of him, like Gary Coleman or somethig. Plus Nick is very good friends with most spiders, there was one in my office the other day and he practically threatened to kill me if I killed the spider, so I figured that they were probably on speaking terms or something and the spider wouldn't mind as much if he took the picture. They are pretty sweet right?
