Easter 2015 came around with the question how to present unity / togetherness of two entities. Here is my solution to the problem.

In 1995, NASA’s Dr. David Noever
and his fellow researchers at the Marshall Space Flight Center studied
the webs spun by common house spiders (Araneus diadematus) dosed with several drugs, including LSD, marijuana, benzedrine, chloral hydrate and caffeine (Noever,
R., J. Cronise, and R. A. Relwani. 1995. Using spider-web patterns to determine toxicity. NASA Tech Briefs
19(4):82. Published in New Scientist April 27, 1995). The more toxic the drug, the less organized the web the spider created. Spiders on Marijuana could spin
their webs reasonably well, but appeared to lose concentration half-way
through. Spiders given Benzedrine, or speed, were said
to have spun their webs “with great gusto, but apparently without
much planning, leaving large holes.” Spiders on caffeine were incapable
of spinning anything better than a few threads strung
together at random. Not surprisingly, spiders given chloral hydrate,
an ingredient used in sleeping pills, dozed off before they even got
started.
