My plan for when the alpha males take over: sell spiders


You know how the secret to getting rich in a gold rush is to sell shovels? Well, I’m going to be ready when this alpha male plan takes off.

I am going to have to ramp up production by a lot.

    christoph @ #4 — It might be interesting to know how many “alpha males” take him seriously.

    Eating spiders doesn’t seem all that nutritious but locusts have been on the menu in parts of the world for a long time. I’ve heard there are expectations of swarms this year, or soon, so maybe eat a lot of grasshoppers, and save crops at the same time.

    robro @8 I don’t know man. I googled “how do they eat spiders around the world”.

    Looks like spiders are a snack or a delicacy. Insects are more a staple I guess…

    @10 yup, PZ, you’re going to have to switch to spiders with more meat in their torsos. It can also be a reason to demand more lab space and a big electrified fence like in Jurassic Park.

    JimB @ #9 I didn’t say spiders weren’t eaten, just not very nutritious. Locust on the other hand…now that’s something you can sink your teeth into.
