My theory?
No need to complete housework, laundry and cooking duties! Let it clutter till someone in the house gets tired of it! Let laundry pile till people trip over it and run out of clothes! And let people starve till they just go and learn to cook! All that time, play Wizardry 8, till you find out the secret to spider silks (I believe everyone who has gotten one here, is pulling my leg! LOL!), and then post the secret on how to get it!
