They're little programs that search the web automatically and gather up info for search engines. Normal stuff.

 ;D ;)
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, and chelicerae with fangs that inject venom. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all other groups of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exception of air and sea colonization. As of 2008, approximately 40,000 spider species, and 109 families have been recorded by taxonomists; however, there has been confusion within the scientific community as to how all these families should be classified, as evidenced by the over 20 different classifications that have been proposed since 1900.

Or so says the never-wrong Wikipedia.

In another forum I'm on, there was a thread full of funny pictures, but scattered pictures of giant spiders - and for no reason other than one of the moderators (and a few members) truly HATE spiders.

Clock spiders. Ugh. I dare not say more or post pictures.
