wow, we'd need really BIG spiders for me to do that...not many human eating spiders around these days...lol
I usually take the spiders outside so people don't step on them.

Lol, maybe I can genetically modify one for you. I'll call the new species Shelob

I actually fed them moths that would get inside the cabin/office at a provincial park I worked at. The girls who worked there would try to get rid of them, and then complain about all the moths... One time, after they sprayed the outside of the cabin, the place actually became over run by spiders!

Wow, I'm a little bit surprised...

[Curiosity]

Interesting and fun - thanks Twila ... and BINGO for me

Some people have a strong preference for one style of thinking, and find some skills come more naturally than others. Other people tend to adopt different thinking styles in different situations.

This test gives you an idea of what your current thinking style or styles are. But remember - the brain is a very adaptive organ. You should be able to improve your performance in any one of these categories with practice. The Renaissance ideal

The leading thinkers of the Renaissance were not just experts in their own field. The renaissance scholar was expected to master all branches of knowledge.

With his insatiable desire to know everything, Leonardo da Vinci is often held up as the ideal Renaissance man.

That would be awesome. Can you make friendlier then your average spider too? Maybe furry, kind of like tarantuala's where their hair actually works as a defense? and Smart... Can you make it smart like the Portia spider? And cute...it'll need to be cute like...like...uhm..ah...maybe just make it cute...can't think of a "cute" spider....

I may have missed the various traits as catalogued but what I found missing which may apply to many of the people here is the type: rugged individualist.... into which Tonington might skew with his particular skills and knowledge.
