Could the description line about an exterminator possibly be a reference to John Goodman's character in Arachnophobia? Maybe? He's... not a skinny guy, and played an exterminator who beats the hell out of the main spider. With a nailgun! (Great movie.) --The KoW 03:13, 25 February 2008 (CST)
would be if there was a nailgun in the text. since she's a widow her husband is dead, and, since he was, presumably, a giant spider, that would need a giant exterminator. which is enough to explain it. sorry. --Evilkolbot 11:34, 25 February 2008 (CST)
Figured it was worth asking, haha. I've also been longing for an Arachnophobia reference, I guess... --The KoW 21:29, 26 February 2008 (CST)
