Care to Join Me for Lunch? Hop Onto the Web!

01.12.2023 by Fred Berman //

That’s not the World Wide Web.  I am referring to the web of a Jorō spider, a large arachnid known for spinning large, strong webs.  Spider silk is amazingly resilient; up to five times stronger than steel.
On September 13, naturalist and garden expert Arty Schronce made a remarkable observation from his Atlanta kitchen window.  National Geographic reports that Schronce saw a cardinal perched comfortably on a strand of a giant, golden spider web feasting on some of the insects caught in the web.  

Million Dollar Idea: We import one of those spiders the size of a Volkswagen from the Amazon (The Amazon from South America, not Ripoffs-ville) and have him spin a giant web in the East Village or SoHo.  Those people will eat anywhere if it’s “Trendy.”   We’ll serve a “Catch of the Day” (Yum) and even throw in a head of cabbage or kale for vegans; you know, the people who only eat meat when no one is looking.  Patrons can perch on the web and have a unique dining experience. (Still need to figure on where to keep the spider so they don’t dine on the customers…small matter).

I’m looking for investors; Are you intrigued?
