Theraphosidae Spin Out.

We see your scientists are looking to the natural world again for assistance with their work.

The silk of the humble spider having been judged and found wanting, the spotlight turns to their larger and hairier cousins the tarantulas, whose silk is significantly stronger.

The helpless scientists can concoct the appropriate chemical mix for the manufacture of the silk, but apparently still need to discover from the tarantula how to spin the perfect thread.

It amuses us that you still regard yourselves the peak of creation, despite such reminders that you know less than those you count the humblest of earth's creatures.

We hope you start to see the truth some not too far off tomorrow.
