I had a paper route when I was a kid, you know.

It's what taught me that spiders don't really sleep overnight.

You know what they do? It's actually a global spider conspiracy.

You see, spiders all got together and decided that the paperboy was the most powerful member of society because they mistakenly understand the word paperboy to mean "God" for a couple of reasons.

First off, Paperboy sounds an awful lot like God in spider-tongue, but also because the spiders see paperboys bringing the source of information to the house.

So, spiders are attempting to capture these elusive paperboys worldwide and overnight they build enormous webs right between the shrubberies leading to the doorway.

This way, when the paperboy approaches, he unsuspectingly walks right into the web.

Spiders have lost heart lately due to the digitizing of media and papers relying less on the paperboy.

Shame, really, because they were so damn close to building a web that could catch a God.
