How smart are spiders?

[Sylvan]

I was just curious , I'm not into voyeurism , but I thought she posted an interesting question regarding the intelligence of spiders (or not ?)...........Personally I'm VERY allergic to them & their bites can cause me quite anguish.........as it would definitely affect "my performance" as I get "bit on the A$$" enough in this MB yet alone need to be getting bit by a spider in my own bedroom.................

Yeah but you like it when the message board does it or your wouldnt always keep coming back for more.

aw , banni , just a bit of a personal question...; Do you think the spiders ever are watching you & your husband (or significant other) getting amorous ? You stated they're in your bedroom , would it "hinder" your performance , like when the family dog is in there watching ? Not trying to be a wiseguy or kinky , just curious ?

I was just concerened about going to sleep with it loose in the room...now you've gone and introduced that thought.....aarrgghh!

Bill Gates would pass inspection before he left the house in the morning.

I usually capture them in a container from an old mini-screwdriver set that I keep in the junk drawer. Once they are cupped they usually freak out and fall to the bottom of the container and I then slide a cover from a book of matches over the top and proceed to take them back outside to release them so they can find their way back into the house! Although they don't seem to fair too well when you let them go in the snow.

My buddy on the other hand, likes to dangle them from their web as they try to escape his grasp, only to be swallowed down his wide open mouth. Frigging Renfield! He likes to eat the moths and other things hanging around the lights on the cottage during the summer as well.

Anyone notice spiders coming in for the winter? Took 3 outside last night.

Nothing is smarter than a fly. They're telepathic and they speak English.....
