Yes but did they get the urge to ear Doritos afterwards? THAT's the important question.

Makes me wonder what the scientists were ''using'' when they thunk up this experiment.

"Results of NASA experiments with Spiders and Drugs."

I don't experiment with spiders. I just step on them.

Most abnormal one looks like the caffein

I've seen this study, or something very much like it, before. When was it published? Ages ago, I believe.

Just in case they ever encounter Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Since when are third-party pages on spiders accepted as definitive information on NASA programs?

NASA does experiments on the effects of spaceflight on spiders and other creatures. I have yet to find a NASA site that indicates NASA does any sort of drug-related experiments on spiders or any other creature.

But don't take my word for it, try your own Google search. http://www.google.com/search?q=nasa%2Bspiders%2Bdrugs

YIKES. That makes me want to stop drinking soft drinks....

[Sir Gawain]

This is old. What's the point of posting an old article other than flamebait?

[The Radical Capitalist]

I see a new Public Service announcement for arachnids: "This is your web...this is your web on drugs."

[Monty22]

Is this a real nasa study?

[sixmil]

I wonder what their webs look like after consuming nicotine or alcohol. Dare to keep spiders off of drugs!

Destro, sorry everybody is giving you crap, freaking out with "facts" in response to your post and calling you a "kid" in an effort to appear grown up themselves.

I enjoyed this, and found it fascinating. I have to question the veracity though. It would seem that caffeine results in the worst web. I have trouble believing that caffeine was the most toxic of all the test drugs!

My requests to lurking scientists:
1) Do not experiment with growth hormones and spiders
2) Do not experiment with phosphorescent spiders
3) Do not attempt to grow additional legs on spiders
4) Do not attempt to grow human ears on spiders
5) Do not do agression experiments with spiders
6) Do not give spiders hallucinogenic drugs to see what they will do

A web spun by a spider on bug spray.

Where's Peter Parker?

[MattAMiller]

Lots of agencies go through a period where they experiment with drugs. The important thing to do is to involved in other activities before it becomes a habit.

[Rudder]

Now if spiders had brains like humans, this would be interesting...

[longtermmemmory]

You could get the same results by observing the postings of Freepers.

Some comments here make one wonder what drugs some people are consuming.
