It depends - a lot of spiders are also pretty hairy all over, which didn't seem to affect Mr. Parker. Which genetic traits are carried over, and how, seems to be largely restricted to what'd be useful. I have to agree that if you want "web" shooting from the wrists, I'd have found a technological solution easier to accept as credible. As for having to scratch his balls every time he wanted to web sling, that SO put a picture of Ted (?) Bundy (Married with Children) in my head that I cannot shake (uuugh - thanks man). Cheers, Cliff
