Webs of spiders after exposure to psychotropics ...
During this experiment, spiders were exposed to a variety of drugs to help determine their effect on the brain.
Spiders who had been given marijuana started out well enough, but were unable to maintain focus.
Benzedrine (speed) produced spiders who spun enthusiastically, though no great thought or care was put into the web design.
Caffeine, one of the most common stimulants taken by humans, produced an erratic web.
Chloral hydrate, an ingredient in sleeping pills, made the spiders doze off after barely getting started on the web.
Though this 1995 experiment sought to determine toxicity of drugs, it was a continuation of experimentation of spiders on drugs that had started in 1948 by P. N. Witt.

I mean, c'mon! That's kind of funny. It's like a drunk trying to walk to his car at 10pm after leaving the bar stool he has occupied since Happy Hour.
I was gonna post this. 
to divert the caffeine which should be going in the morning cups of patriotic, hardworking Americans and giving it for free to goddamned arachnids!!
NASA does realize while they're playing with their ant farms and Bunsen burners, the rest of the nation has to wake up and find their place on the starting grid for that day's rat race, right??
The proper solution is for NASA to give all the caffeine in their laboratory to me...I'll self-medicate and report my findings
