A normal spider web spun by a sober spider:

The web of a stoned spider:

The web of a caffeinated spider:

BONUS SPIDER JOKE

So a spider scientist gets to meet the president.

He tells him of his profession and expresses his support of the war. They get along quite nicely, and the president refers him to some friends who are eager for his expertise and who he promises will pay him top dollah-dollah. As you can imagine, good-paying jobs in the spider researching industry are quite scarce and desirable, so the scientist says, ‘heck yes, sign me up!’ [paraphrased--Ed.]

When he arrives at his new job he’s greeted by an array of high-ranking military dudes, is led into a very serious looking room with maps and charts, etc., and is briefly debriefed. I say briefly to be polite, but the truth is that the scientist interrupted his boss WHILE he was getting the run-down! [scientists are so rude--Ed.] He appears to be experiencing an assortment of emotions including confusion, exasperation, and disappointment, and he exclaims, “Damn it, I’m an Arachnologist not an Iraqologist!!!”
