The "Spider Case"
Kadagan AU submitted linkage to one of the more impressive case mods I've seen in awhil, The Spidercase. It's not really an option if you don't have much desk space to spare, but it sure is cool.

Techtv Just had a case mod contest. This article is about a mod that was too heavy to qualify for the contest, at the bottom of the page under "related stories" are links to the 4 contest finalists. Some pretty unbelievable cases IMHO.

I remembered seeing this a couple of days ago on HardOCP's boards. I mirrored the thread about it (as /.'ing a bboard is not too nice) which has quite a few pictures and some talk:

(and yes, I did just download the 4 individual pages and cat them together =P)
I think he perhaps he does and you don't.
Pun - the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound
web - a network of silken thread spun especially by the larvae of various insects (as a tent caterpillar) and usually serving as a nest or shelter.
Web - a part of the Internet designed to allow easier navigation of the network through the use of graphical user interfaces and hypertext links between different addresses
Seems to meet the definition of pun to me. Here is a quote that seems appropriate:
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
-- Proverbs 17:28
Mods on crack, apparently. These pics aren't offtopic, but here's a proper link: Case Pics

That would actually (imho) make it look less like a spider, since they usually have 8 eyes.

This sig is not the Zahir. Lucky for you.
As someone who has a decent amount of woodworking experience, I can say DO NOT follow this guys advice of wearing gloves when working with table saws, routers, etc. If the glove gets caught in a machine (and proceeds to pull your hand in) you are going to be in a whole lot more pain than a little one stitch nick with a table saw.
#1 Rule: Always were safety glasses
#2 Rule: NEVER wear things that can get caught in the machine, neck ties, necklaces, GLOVES. Some people even take off thier wedding rings.

I stuck my middle fingertip into a table saw and found out first hand why people wear gloves.
Wearing gloves while operating power equipment is dangerous and will not keep you from getting your fingers chopped off. If you are dealing with powertools like table saws or band saws, there is a good chance you will lose a digit or two. It's almost inevitable. You will learn to deal with it. If you want to lose more digits or your whole hand, wear gloves like the article suggests, and long sleeves while your're at it. Might as well get your whole arm sucked in.
