Why did the fly swallow the spider?

Well, now that that's out there, I'd better introduce myself properly.

I've been hanging around FT for about a month now, but only moved beyond the message boards this week - delayed a little by my server delting the password email by mistake. I'm Araneus, ruler of the invisible people that you can't see or touch, in fact they interact with this world not at all. But I know they're there and they have decalred me king. I can just feel it.

If I seem a little crazy it's because I'm just finishing up my PhD in Engineering ("the effect of processing on the microstructure of 'Biocrete' organo-mortar").

Welcome, Dr. Araneus ! Engineering, eh? But, trust me, the most important question in that arena of life as we know it as follows: "OK ... so do you know how to fix a broken toilet ?"
Congrats on that PhD - and enjoy yourself in The Forums!

Welcome Araneus! But I must know, why *did* the fly swallow the spider??

I don't know why the fly swallowed the spider; perhaps she'll die.

Welcome your highness Araneus, so glad to have your presence on this glorious forum.

Perhaps the fly was really the bird in disguise?
