Next we have the netweb spider, family
Philus Tetidae, Genus Cucacamia.
:08:08
It spins an intricate funnel shaped web whose strands
have a tensile strength proportionately equal
:08:14
to the type of high tension wire...
:08:18
Leave him alone.
:08:19
Or what?
:08:19
Or his father will fire you father.
:08:21
What's Daddy gonna do? Sue me?
:08:26
What is going on? The next person who talks
will fail this course. I kid you not.
:08:31
This grass spider hunts using a set of
relexes with nerve conduction so fast
:08:37
that some researches believe it
almost borders on precognition...
:08:42
-Those guys are jerks.
-...an imminent awareness of danger, a "spider-sense".
:08:47
Hey look at that spider.
:08:48
Some spiders change colours to blend into their environment.
:08:53
It's a defense mechanism.
:08:55
Peter, what makes you think I would want to know that?
:08:58
Who wouldn't?
:08:59
Over five painstaking years Columbia's genetic research facility has...
:09:04
Gonna talk to her now?
:09:06
No, go on, you talk to her.
:09:13
-Disgusting.
-I hate the little things.
:09:17
-I love 'em.
-Yeah me too.
:09:22
You know, spiders can change their colour to blend into their environment.
:09:28
Really?
:09:30
Yeah, it's a defense mechanism.
:09:33
Cool.
:09:36
...combining the genetic information from all three spiders into these fifteen genetically designed super-spiders.
:09:45
There's fourteen.
:09:47
I beg your pardon?
:09:49
One's missing.
:09:54
I guess the researchers are working on that one.
:09:58
Did you know that this is the largest
electron microscope on the eastern seaboard?
