I nominate myself to be the RSS feed of the day and present this story for GD's perusal https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45572331

Warmer weather conditions in western Greece have led to the eerie spectacle of a 300m-long spider-web in Aitoliko.

A vast area of greenery has been covered by the web, reports the Daily Hellas.

Experts say it is a seasonal phenomenon, caused by Tetragnatha spiders, which can build large nests for mating.

I refreshed this page and the Nyan Cat went from full colour to being greyscale.

We know it was the spiders who struck first. It was them that webbed the land. At the time, we were dependent on the land and It was believed we would be unable to survive without a food source as abundant as Greece.

Not just spiders, but randy spiders!

I misread that and took it as 300m long spiders in Greece.

Marky · 20 Sep 2018 at 16:54

Sounds like a huge spider orgy!

UberTiger · 20 Sep 2018 at 17:02

This explains the fires. Someone must have been trying to kill the spiders.

Jumper118 · 20 Sep 2018 at 18:12

Nuke Greece immediately

I just read the article, GIANT spider web. I initially thought it was giant spiders. Don't worry folks I'll bring a few back as pets.
