Such a specific number. Did they do a spider census?

The brave experts that studied the all-encompassing webs estimated that around 35,176 spiders could be found in every cubic meter of space – possibly making the nest the most concentrated spider population in the United States.
so there could be less than 107 million, i guess. on reflection maybe i could be okay with it.
but what if there were more

Two semis – one carrying frozen chicken, the other hauling crates of bees – collided on the 10 Freeway in Coachella on Monday and caught fire, creating all kinds of complications for morning commuters.
“Some of the bee crates have broken open and bees everywhere,” an entry in the California Highway Patrol’s incident log says.
The crash occurred on the westbound 10 just after 7 a.m. near the Dillon Road exit in Coachella, CHP officials said. When the big rigs collided, the one carrying chicken burst into flames, scorching its poultry cargo.
CHP logs show the other vehicle’s tires caught fire and the bees were released, forcing authorities to reroute drivers around the crash. The CHP doesn’t have special equipment to gather the bees, but officials said the smoke from the fire kept the bees relatively calm. A beekeeper from Bakersfield was en route and expected to arrive around noon, according to the logs.
Most of the lanes were reopened a couple of hours after the crash, the CHP said. One driver suffered cuts to his face; the other driver was uninjured, authorities said.

Too Much Iced Tea Caused Arkansas Man's Kidney Problems
MIKE STOBBEAP Medical Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Doctors traced an Arkansas man's kidney failure to an unusual cause - his habit of drinking a gallon of iced tea each day.
They ruled out several potential causes before stumbling on a reason for the 56-year-old man's kidney problems. He said he drank about 16 8-ounce cups of iced tea every day. Black tea has a chemical known to cause kidney stones or even kidney failure in excessive amounts.
― pplains, Wednesday, 1 April 2015 21:04 (nine years ago) link
The unidentified man went to the hospital last May with nausea, weakness, fatigue and body aches. Doctors determined his kidneys were badly clogged and inflamed by the food chemical called oxalate. The man is on dialysis, perhaps for the rest of his life...
Besides black tea, oxalate is found in spinach, rhubarb, nuts, wheat bran and chocolate. In rare cases, too much oxalate can lead to kidney trouble, but often there's also a contributing intestinal problem. That didn't seem to be the case for the Arkansas man, and he had no family or personal history of kidney disease.
At 16 cups of iced black tea each day, he was taking in three to 10 times more oxalate than the average American.
― pplains, Wednesday, 1 April 2015 21:05 (nine years ago) link
The Arkansas case appears to be very unusual, said Dr. Randy Luciano, a Yale School of Medicine kidney specialist who has treated people with kidney damage from too much oxalate.
"I wouldn't tell people to stop drinking tea," said Luciano, who was not involved in the research. What the man drank "is a lot of tea."

A BLUE-MOUTHED Greenock blade carrier was doped up on diazepam when police caught him in the street armed with a pair of scissors.Brazen Shawn Gallacher grinned in the dock of the town’s sheriff court after being given a 10-month prison term for the offence.The 23-year-old pleaded guilty on indictment to having the cutters in a jumper pocket.He was caught with them by chance in Greenock’s Gael Street after police had arrived in response to another call, the sheriff court heard. Prosecutor Pamela Brady told how Gallacher was arrested shortly after 2.45pm on 11 February.The fiscal depute said: “Police were called to the street on another matter.“They saw the scissor blades sticking out of the pocket of the accused’s jumper.“His mouth was blue and he appeared to be under the influence.”Defence lawyer Ellen Macdonald said: “By his own admission he wishes that he hadn’t taken valium that day.“He went out and had the scissors in a pocket.”Sheriff Ian Fleming backdated Gallacher’s sentence to 12 February, when he was first remanded in custody on the matter.The lawman said: “There is no choice other than a custodial sentence.”
