> Who would have guessed

Except for not being a dog, such a spider is anticipated in Goethe's little poem «Annonce» (Advertisement):

    A little dog is sought
    that never barked nor bit
    takes broken glass as feed
    leaves diamonds as - -
(my own translation, but wouldn't be surprised if it has appeared in these words before)


Yeah, pretty good!

    Ein Hündchen wird gesucht,
    Das weder murrt, noch beißt,
    Zerbrochene Gläser frißt
    Und Diamanten scheißt.


> Und Diamanten scheißt.
