Are Caffeinated Spiders Faster Weavers?

I just ran into the following figure on wikipedia, taken from a 1995 paper in New Scientist:

Yeah, I remember that O_O, now I kinda want to get some caffeine and find various bugs and feed it to them.

Speaking of caffeine, I tried my first Jolt Cola ever yesterday! I was surprised that it tasted almost exactly like pepsi. Also, those battery cans are awesome! O_O The first time you open them, they make a nice POPPSH!

Well, if you're all jittery with caffeine, who would have the patience to make a neat and tidy web, especially when some big, dumb bug is going to fly into it and wreck it in a few minutes anyway?
