I am by no means a fan of spiders. The scare me more then just a little bit. Even when I see pictures of them I usually turn the page. When I was a kid, watching the movie Arachnophobia was about the worst horror movie that you could show me.

All that being said, this article I stumbled upon today was pretty neat. Its about how water spiders use their silk to trap air and use it as a scuba tank. I guess we are still man imitating nature under the water. Its a short article so check it out.
