Effects Of Drugs And Alcohol On Spider Webs

written by John Chow on January 2nd, 2007

In the 1960s, Dr. Peter Witt gave spiders various kinds of drugs and alcohol to observe the effects on their webs. The results, shown in this Environment Canada Wildlife Service video, were pretty interesting.

Haha, that got me going for the first little while, until I saw the weed spider build a hammock.

Pretty nice advert, didn’t see it before (even though I check Break.com often)

HMTKSteve, notice the ‘Break.com’ in the right lower corner? They post plenty of movies everyday, and sometimes there are nice ones out there ;)

Leftblank,

My work PC is blocking the content…

I saw the video this morning while at home but… How does one find the time to search these video sites to find the good stuff?

HMTKSteve think of Break as a blog. Every day they post about 4-6 videos. You just check on a regular basis. Some are funny some are not.

HMTKSteve, Break is user contributed, they’ve got a page you can submit/send your movies, they even give out rewards every now and then, so well, there you’ve got the time ;)

Clearly spiders have no alcohol tollerance.

This is like druging children and telling them to finger-paint… but spiders have no legal rights ;)

that video is antidrug propaganda created specifically as a viral by the Church of Christ.

read the credits sometime, public-schoolers.

at first, i was mad that they tricked me, I wanted to see the real effects, but in the end I think that this clip was far more funny than whatever the real one would show.
