      this entire video drives me nuts. Size being conflated with mass or density is ridiculous. A condor is much larger than a terrier, but the condor will survive a fall that a terrier wouldn't because it's bones are hollow and they are actually pretty light. So right there, with a bird, this video is shown to be mostly garbage.

    I used to be a high rise window cleaner.
    There are a lot of spiders in my area.
    I feel way less terrible about all the arachnids I've thrown off skyscrapers now.
    I had to share because I imagine I'm one of very few people to whom this video was relevant to a personal experience.
    Still crazy to me how far up those spiders will climb.
