If there's an afterlife for spiders — and if they ever talk about the last few seconds up to their death — I imagine it often goes something like this:
So, how'd YOU die?
"Well, I was just doing my spider thing. Minding my own spider business, like I always do... when all of a sudden I hear this blood curdling scream!"
And then what happened?
"I dunno! I died."
