Imagine when you get in bed, instead of cumbersome layers of blankets, an army of spider like robots crawl around your body slowly encasing you in a thick web of whatever fibrous material you want: Be it the abrasiveness of canvas ranging too the softness of angora. In the morning this blanket functions as an alarm clock where the spider-bots unravel the blanket and release you / remind you how cold it is. Make sure the alarm is set or the spider-bots might not to be so inclined to free you.-- redpandainventor, Nov 02 2008 (+) Useful for desensitization treatment of arachnophobia.-- jutta, Nov 03 2008 I probably am in a need of arachnophobia desensitization. Had a spider in my hair for 4 hours the other day without knowing it. Kind of freaked me out.-- redpandainventor, Nov 03 2008 How did you know how long it had been there?-- Texticle, Nov 03 2008 Because i accidentally went through one before my classes started then felt something crawling in my hair during my last class. But either 5 minutes or 4 hours, there was still a spider in my hair.-- redpandainventor, Nov 03 2008 It survived tried to get back in my hair though.-- redpandainventor, Nov 03 2008 cool! if the spiders are a bit strong/heavy, then they could even massage you after the weaving is complete. If you have long hair, it could also help youtie a braid. [+]-- kamathln, Nov 03 2008 I have a live cat-blanket! They are really warm.-- xandram, Nov 03 2008 random, halfbakery
