The Haunted Mansion has nothing on these spiders

This bit of news won’t do much for those with an irrational fear of spiders. I’ve seen much smaller, cotton-candy-like webs around wooded areas of Texas before but the measurements on this one are impressive. I’m not afraid of the eight-legged creatures yet the picture in the story did make me think, “Ick!” Every other day, some stupid spider builds a web between my house and the closest tree. I always walk through the damned thing on the way to my car. It’s a nusiance yet I’m grateful. If walked through that communal set up, I would need to call in sick and spend the morning finding a flamethrower to burn the rest of it.
