    Pet Attack Spider

    I need one! Who doesn't?

    I love this from the Science News article:
    Written testimonials available at Tasano's Web site suggest that the Attack Spider is indeed effective, if not selective. Customers report, with varying degrees of glee, that the device has terrorized pets, deer, children, and unsuspecting package-delivery men as well as rappers.

    Halloween is not over yet! Though maybe I better not scare the nice UPS man until after Xmas.

    I have one.

    Well, not the "original" attack spider, but a Halloween spider that does the same thing. I usually hang it right above the front door. Unsuspecting trick or treaters come to the door - and BAM. Spidey drops down, and the good times roll....

    How to repel rappers?

    Anyone have a clever/effective suggestion for this? I know businesses who discourage loiterers by piping classical music outdoors, but that wouldn't work in this case.
