dc_bad_boy Feb 10, 2009	Ha Wikipedia is my favorite spot too and I see thats where you got most of all of your information from. No complaints, good research.
BrieCheese Feb 11, 2009	Haha yes I did look it up on wikipedia (who wouldn't? ), although the idea for the riddle and most of my info came from a magazine article that I read. The 16 oz thing did come from wiki

bradon182001 Apr 14, 2009	Nice, enjoyable riddle. For some reason spider web popped into my head as soon as I read the riddle. Good Job. Thanks for posting.
doehead Apr 14, 2009	Interesting,but on the easy side.
emu77alu02 Apr 14, 2009	Builder, you took the words right out of my mouth! God is amazing! Great riddle

Dustomatic Apr 14, 2009	Very well written, but sadly very easy. I liked it though.
auntiesis Apr 14, 2009	I liked it a swell, and amazingly spider web popped into my head right away. I didn't think it was right, but I couldn't come up with anything else. Very nice teaser.

akmozart Apr 16, 2009	nice one!!! this seems like one of those questions that would be good for jeapordy!
Provlear Apr 21, 2009	Duh. Stronger than steel is the title, spiderweb is my guess, didn't need the riddle.
thebrain789 Jun 01, 2010	EASY! But also kind of fun.
Babe Apr 14, 2012	I guessed cobweb also. Isn't that the same? Forever forgotten? Not in my house!!!
Maggiethe8th Apr 14, 2012	I thought about cobwebs, too. A friend of mine calls if 'Irish Lace' when she finds them in those odd little places. Then I thought about 'will', as I didn't know about the steel thing-Very cool!
JQPublic Apr 14, 2012	It was really difficult for me. Why does it seem so easy to everyone else?
wordmama Apr 14, 2012	I hate to jinx myself, but I've been getting more riddles lately! (It's OK if some1 informs me they've been especially easy!!) The second reading and spider web popped in! Yay!
iggy39 Apr 14, 2012	It was a good one. I didn't know the facts about the spider-silk either didn't even think of that I would never ave gotten it either. Oh well just another one I didn't get.
luluw5 Apr 15, 2012	I totally got tht one, cause im just cool like that
