T3: Questioning Tarantula

I don't really have questions about tarantulas.

I like them. I've touched one - stroked its soft, dense hair.

But I don't really have questions about them: are they endangered? do they dream?

I do remember one of the old Piers Anthony Xanth novels which featured a giant jumping spider, but I don't think he was a tarantula. Was Shelob a tarantula, swollen by the ages in Tolkien's world?

Ah, questions. Once I manage u, v, x, y, and z, will I keep questioning the words? Or do I need to root around and find another trick from somewhere up my sleeve?
