doesn't every one use candles for lighting?

i had a party recently, and one guest said it looked like a movie set.. they didn't think real people had 100 candle on hand.

and wow, while i am in your camp about spiders in general, our friends down under have some pretty nasty spiders. a bite from a brown reclusive spider is pretty nasty (north east North American), but one from a funnelweb spider is deadly..
(don't even ask how i know this...)
