I’ve got tears in my eyes from laughing right now…
I once had a Beige G3 300, and a spider of some description decided that the ethernet port seemed like a pretty attractive living space.
One day, I could not for the life of me figure out why the ethernet port wasn’t working. I got round the back of the computer, and noticed a little bit of what appeared to be plastic thread hanging out. I pulled, and pulled and pulled, and I swear I pulled out the longest fucking piece of spider web you’ll ever see.

You think you were surprised — I’m envisioning the world’s most alarmed spider as you pull thread out of its ass as fast as it can produce it. Now there’s an image for ya.
