Pirate Spiders

Sentynel: Hehehe, there's such a thing as a Pirate Spider.
Sentynel: It eats other spiders.
wintermute: Does it wear seven eye patches?
TalkingDog: And has three wooden legs.
Sentynel: Apparently they con other spiders into believing they've caught an insect by tweaking their webs, and then eat the spider when it comes to investigate.
Sentynel: Wikipedia was unenlightening about the presence of eye patches, wooden legs, or parrot spiders.
Goosey: TD: You rule.
* TalkingDog randomly pictures some sort of pirate fractal with parrots on both shoulders that have parrots on *their* shoulders, etc.
Goosey: "Pirate Fractal" would be a great name for a band.
Sentynel: Naturally, there is also a ninja spider, but nobody has ever managed to capture a specimen.
