Interesting story about spider silk

They made a cape out of real spider silk. Amazing. If nothing else, go look at the photos.

Did you happen to read the comments after the article? Some are pretty funny.

Imagine the pain the spider must be going through during the twenty minute hand-cranked extraction. lol

The "reeling out" made me a bit queasy too. The damn cape is so ugly overall, isn't it? But the woven patterns are lovely. I guess it's a traditional shape (from somewhere). I'm glad they wove spiders into the design. It seems only fair.
