    Actually, 8people, I was talking more about medieval times. People then had more fear of getting their livestock getting eaten by starving wolves than a spider bite. Of course, no giant spiders existed. :p

    One thing about spiders is that their hunting method is highly unusual in the animal kingdom, in that they set traps (webs) and then wait. Given the Judeo-Christian view of the Devil (that he is sneaky, patient, and can only get to you if you walk into one of his deceitful traps) it only seems natural to me that spiders, with their intricate and beautiful traps, would be associated with evil.

    My experience with wolves has always been about 50 / 50. Werewolves are traditionally evil or bad, and Vampires can control wolves or take wolfen form. On the other hand, wolves are often seen as symbols of nature's purity, both in Europe, Asia, and some Native American belief systems (sort of like Dances with Wolves). In stories like George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire", Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time", and especially Kipling's "Jungle Book", wolves are forces of good. I would say their Pack mentality, with the communal approach to many things, appeals in some ways to the Lawful side of some people and cultures -- "together we are greater than the sum of our parts" sort of an attitude.

    @8people
    You need to have netscape navigator for blink to work. If you're gonna make an entire site out of HTML, then do the research first. There are many things that arent gonna work with particular browsers. Ill look around for one if you want.

    Why? Do you think that I should join this conversation or not? Is it actually useful or simply random babbling?

    What kind of Australian are YOU?!?!
    Grouse is another word for tops, which is another word for Ace, which is another word for "That is so excellently excellent, it supercedes cool and excellent and goes straight to grouse"

    But, you knew that already, didnt you?

    There is only one homophobe on the planet that I like and we know him as Chevalier. Everyone else who has something else to complain about can just go to hell. Case closed.

    @ Taza: coming, coming...
