So, like I killed a spider with an ice-cube
Earlier tonight, I dropped an ice-cube on the floor. Two hours later I came back to see a spider had drowned in the wate from it, after melting. Considering the amount of space on the floor compared to the amount of water from an ice-cube on the floor... this has to be the dumbest spider ever.

1. Run DNA tests to see if the spider is related to bu$h
I wouldn't be surprised.:popcorn:

2. Wow.
They're usually pretty crafty critters, or so it seems.

What a dumbass.

3. I had to re-think it when I saw it
I look down, thought, "is that a? It is!" Cause it is so unbelieveably stupid (spider speaking that is)

And even funnier, it wasn't a full sized cube, make and "Okay" sympol with your fingers, that was roughly the size of the water patch.

4. Seriously...
That is unbelievable.

They're such elusive creatures, yet an infinitesimal pool of water is apparently an insurmountable obstacle for this one.

Crazy.

5. So instead of getting spider spray, I could use ice cubes?
That's got to be better for the environment.

:think:

6. Get CSI:Arachnid
on the case. I'm willing to bet they find that the ice cube fell on the spider, rendering it unconscious. The ice cube melted and it drowned before coming to. :D

7. That sounds like the most reasonable scenario ...
unless ... the spider was already dead before the meltdown

16. I was thinking along the same lines
Possibly the spider used the ice cube to commit suicide by hanging.
Look for a rope or in his case, a thread.

21. maybe Catwoman can find hope in this.
Although I like spiders, for they rid the area of pesky bugs and serve as a protein source for the cat!
