Poke and prod the spider with your mouse. Also 'grab' one of its legs with your mouse and drag it around the screen -- tell me it's not alive! click here.
Also anywhere on the map hit the space bar and it leaves little bugs where your mouse is, watch the spider go after them. This is totally crazy and creepy too!

Something else for your "idle time"
Take a Shark Break!™ at the Online Aquarium. Be sure to run in full screen mode.
1. The fish follows your mouse. This is amazing. Click on the extreme right hand column and change the scene of the background. There are some really beautiful ones. 2. By clicking on the extreme left hand column you can change the type of fish. WOW! 3. Breathe deeply and relax as you watch them swim.  . .

Something completely different . . .
Old Aircraft Never Die They're just made into furniture See the pictures HERE as they cycle at the top of the screen. Using recycled materials is nothing new when it comes to making furniture. But rarely are the results – literally – this polished. Using pieces of vintage aircraft ranging from B-25 bombers to DC-9s & B-747s, the Los Angeles-based MotoArt liberates the sleek, metal beauty of planes & re-purposes the pieces as distinctively modern tables, beds, couches, chairs & desks. The company’s founder, Donavon Fell III, grew up in SoCal under the spell of classic aircraft, even queuing for hours in 1959 to get a 1st look at a DC-8. But it wasn’t until 1998, when he rescued a pile of B-17 propellers from being melted down for scrap, that he realized what great furnishings the parts of aviation history could become. Each MotoArt piece is handmade, unique & utterly distinctive. There are desks made from the cowlings of DC-6s & DC-8s. Partitions from the fuselage of 707s & 737s. B-52 Ejection chairs. And a “Mile-High” bed assembled from 2 DC-9 rear stabilizers & a C-130 inner flap. They’re all beautiful, practical ways of preserving the past. .
