Clearly, as a tenet of womens liberation the spider killing duties now have to be shared. Ditto taking out the garbage. To do otherwise is to oppress women.

Perhaps the spider was a wearing a bomb vest and blew himself up to avoid capture. Now the spider has all the spideresses he wants and flowing milk and honey.

When asked to comment, noted Hollywood film star Wile E. Coyote had this to say: “Been there, done that.”

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Could be anything. Aerosol sprays can be propelled by volatile hydrocarbons, among other things.

I used to have an apartment with high wood beamed ceilings....when I'd see a spider way up, I'd take a can of Right Guard, flick my bic and blowtorch him.

I did this tons of times and never had a problem; works great.

I’ve shot porcupines that way. It’s doable.

Aerosol cans’ propellants are often flammable and have warnings not to use around flames or to delberately heat up the can.

You'd be amazed at how explosive even relatively inert substances can be when aerosolized in a confined space. It's the same principle behind grain-silo explosions.

It could have been anything as tame as hairspray....
