Pop-and-lock synchronized dance spiders; sonascope's beloved Pilea Cadierei, and that time the spider plant survived a Chrysler; signal on signals: the web before the web. Speaking of which, does anyone fancy a crawl across the multiverse? And in case you missed it, a loving look at barking spider plumes, plus "How convenient that a spider god was available to answer this question."

In case you missed it: MetaFilter is currently accepting applications for a part-time database and web admin!
We're looking to bring someone on as a member of our team, to help with regular backend maintenance and possible development. Work from anywhere, very flexible scheduling, and you'd be joining a team of moderators in supporting one of the longest-running web communities around. See the job listing for details, and apply or pass it on!
MetaFilter started as a community weblog in 1999, later added question and answers, then music by members, jobs, projects by members, a podcast, and finally an area dedicated to meetups.
