* FUN FACT ~  the SOD, or Spiders on Drugs Project was an experiment NASA did to see what the webs of spiders would look like, if spiders were given drugs.  I've stayed up nights wondering this very thing!  Artist  Guillaume Lehoux created bowls based on the scientific findings.

The spider on Chloral hydrate falls asleep before finishing
his usually very symmetrical web. 



If this isn't a teaching tool, I don't know what is.
