Eventually, I pondered ways of ridding myself of the spider. It came down to two choices.

a) Dump it out and hope he doesn't stay in the glass and crawl all over your hand, oh, god, eww, gross, what if he crawls on your hand, no way!

or b) Kill it, then dump it out.

How to kill it, then?

Well, knowing that oil floats on water, I wondered if spiders float on oil...long story short: They don't.

So, this is a picture of Mr. Spider, alive, trapped between some old beverage and some canola oil. you can sort of see the bubbles of air he breathed out underneath him.

You can also see his image reflecting off the top of the oil, pretty cool.

No editing on this either.
