revoltingly cool

I have always disliked spiders, (I mean really... who likes them?) yet been fascinated by their webs. I think spiderwebs are quite possibly one of the most interesting naturally occurring creations, both incredibly strong (I heard a long time ago that a rope made out of spiderweb material would be strong enough to hold some crazy amount of weight, more than an actual rope... sorry that was really vague but you get the idea) and wonderfully delicate and intricate.

  1. now, I am not certain on this, so don't quote me, but I believe that bullet proof vests were at one time made from a synthetic material that is the same as spider webs.
