Just say "No".Check this out. This is what happens to a spider when you spike its drink. "A method of determining the toxicities of chemicals involves recording and analysis of spider web patterns. The method is based on the observation that spiders exposed to various chemicals spin webs that differ, in various ways, from their normal web. The changes in the web reflect the degree of toxicity of a substance. The more toxic the chemical the more deformed a web looks in comparison to a normal web. In as much as the shape of a spider web resembles that of a crystal lattice in some respects, techniques of crystallography are applied to obtain several quantitative measures of toxicity as manifested in the differences between photographs of webs spun under toxic and normal conditions."
