Thanks for thinking of me.
When somebody misses your point, maybe you should take it as an oppurtunity to think your position through more thoroughly and express yourself more clearly.
Are spiders capable of learning? Can you train a spider to make a different kind of web? Can you teach a spider to go through a maze?

Speaking as a former arachnid collector (had to give up the hobby when I married my wife!)....
I know. That's why I asked you instead of some know-nothing.
Speaking of iguanas, I seem to remember reading somewhere that reptiles have some responses that aren't processed in the brain at all? Like the message goes straight from eye to mouth and they bite without "thinking" about it?
... you're forgetting that I'm all knowing.
I have a great memory for trivia. I can't remember anything useful.
