Spidler: NEVER confuse it with a Spider.
As you're looking at this page, I have to assume that you have some tiny amount of interest in finding out what a Spidler is, and why this site is named after one. No, I'm not claiming that I am an actual spidler.
That would just be crazy.
No, a Spidler is similar to a normal, everyday, run of the mill spider, but with some very important differences:
You probably think that :
Well, can't help you with number 3, and number two is still undecided, but as for number one, you're wrong.
The reason you've never seen a Spidler is because they aren't commonly found in most areas of the world. They tend to stick to the coldest areas of Antarctica, where they can live in peace among their fellow creatures, namely penguins and giant woodlice.
Also, though they may venture out on other days (a Spidler got to eat!) Spidlers are only really visible on leap years, especially that stupid extra day in the stupid month of February. So, no wonder you've never seen one! Very few have.
Remember also that there is no evidence to prove that the Spidler does not exist. So my argument is as good as anyones.
The talented Mr Spidler
(Sorry!)
So what makes the mighty Spidler so much more talented than your normal spider? Well, alright, so regular spiders are more talented than your average insect, being able to build webs, climb up walls, and scare people out of their wits. But they can't do a fraction of the things that a Spidler can do.
The talents of a Spidler include:
ALSO: A couple of people (with too much time on their hands... yes, like me) have asked me how you should say "Spidler".
Well, my lawyer has told me I'm allowed to answer this question, so:
You pronounce it "Spid-ler" (like "riddler")
There. Hopefully that's taken a weight off your minds, and you can all sleep at night now. Phew!
The Spidler, as you can see from the evidence presented here, is a talented and remarkable creature. I am happy to be named after the Spidler, but would like to point out that should anyone take the name of the Spidler in vain, they may be attacked by many lizards or sparrows (depending on season and availability) or "contacted" by my pet Giant Squid, Clive.
Just a friendly warning... let's be careful out there...
Yes, the scrolly text does not lie!
Thanks to the wonders of Clive the squid, and his frequent visits to the Lost & Found, I came into possession of a ticket to Antarctica. Not wanting to pass up an opportunity like this, I snapped up the ticket, grabbed my camera, packed a few essentials (clothes, cofoffee, cheese straws) and set off straight away!
The pictures I collected are now on show for all to see, exclusive to The Spidler Site!!
Some amazing examples of spidler life which have been sent to me.. you won't believe your eyes!
Seen a Spidler? Tell me! TELL ME NOW!!
