NASA tests drugs on spiders, and observes how they build their webs on different drugs.

As far as I know, this is true.
Was done quite a while ago already.

I had a full article regarding this somewhere. With cocaine they make perfectly symmetrical webs. :drunk:

Yes, around 2005/2006. The link explains the effect certain drugs and other substances has on spiders and what the webs look like after 'consumption'. There is also a video on youtube.

Although weird and interesting, I really think they should throw more money towards building a Mall on Mars .... and less money on pointless drug testing.

yea, I agree. They should rather research the following......

Read about something similar years back in one of my brothers"Horrible Science" magazines. They said that caffeine and sleeping pills had opposite effects. I think that their money should go to, Oh, I don't know, putting a human on mars. Sure, it's expensive but it would bring back peoples faith in NASA.
