Good, but not a contender against the guy who threw up on his iPhone.

The dishwasher might wash it out, but alternativly barbecuing your mac might help



(this is meant as a joke before some idiot tries it out)

I would try compressed air

I would try Raid!

Think I'd call spiderman and see what he thinks

Here's a couple of ideas:

1) Download Final Cut Pro X. Edit 3 hour HD video and make sure to leave it rendering for a while.

2) Play some really graphics heavy game (and no Angry Birds doesn't count!).

3) Watch loads of YouTube videos or visit some Flash heavy websites

I hate spiders. I was sitting on the downstairs toilet once and this huge 8 legged beast crept up on me. I nearly screamed! I also had one in the shower a couple of weeks ago.

Open up the back and pour some rice in.

i'd go with this option - get the inside fairly toasty and cook the little bugger

wait - rmbps don't have dvds, d'oh

If it's a Funnel Web, I'd return it.

thats nothing. look at some of the spiders they have in the desert of iraq. i know there are lots of pics of the soldiers picking them up they are massive.

Wait - rMBPs don't have DVDs, D'oh

Ah but wouldn't the external SuperDrive work? Or does that only work with the MacBook Air and not the rMBP?

Spiders are cool. They are an essential part of the ecosystem since they eat various insects that are disease vectors or cause other problems. If it was possible to kill all spiders we would have some serious insect infestations.

Your typical house spider is harmless. Heck... to get a black widow to bite you have to torment the little thing and then present a fleshy part of your body and give it the opportunity to use its tiny fangs.

I once had a tarantula as a pet; her name was Amanda. She was as docile as can be and was never aggressive. And she looked pretty cool when she crawled up a wall!

So just transport spiders outside that you find inside your house and give thanks that nature knows how to keep things in balance if we don't screw up things...

You could open Terminal and type:

yes > dev/null

Open more instances of Terminal and repeat the step to get all 4 cores maxed out and the fan going.

People should really learn a bit more about UNIX and what's under the hood of Mac OS X
