Actually, the character brought to life by Tim Burton didn’t really make this silly, rather it was molded together by Christopher Locke, who makes spider-sculptures from scissors that are confiscated at airports. Apparently you can buy the hardware at TSA auctions.
Want to build your own? Chris shows you how on his website and while you’re there, check out his portfolio of his other works.

I know what you’re thinking. Two guys smiling while filling up their glasses of beer. Big deal. It’s not like you haven’t seen that every Applebee’s during happy hour. But here’s the catch: those two guys could be you. That is if you have their laptop.
Recently these guys from Croucher Brewery Co. were jacked of their company laptop that was recently backed up with all their company contacts, account information and important emails. In exchange for their hardware, they are offering whoever returns it a lifetime supply of beer.
Either some geeks are already on eBay and chat rooms looking for this thing, or the idiots who stole it are actually thinking about returning it for the beer.
“Hmm, return the laptop for a lifetime supply of beer? Sounds like a great deal. Oh wait, I just remembered.
THEY DON’T SERVE BEER IN PRISON!”

Nothing helps to build trust with your kids than buying spy gear to see what they’ve been up to.
On this morning show, this gadget guy show us all the necessary tools to play OO7 on your kids to see what they are IMing, texting and amongst other things. They can even retrieve deleted text messages. This stuff is creepy.
And you know that parents aren’t the only ones looking to buy this stuff.
You know there is a guy out there who wants to know what his girlfriend is giggling about every time she reads a text message on her phone and she says, “oh, it’s just from my friend Chris.”
Chris is not a girl dude, I hate to break it to you.
