Syed Fazle Rahman depends on the culture :D If I remember correctly snakes are defined as "wise and knowledgeable" in some cultures :D and one western african spider god is a trickster god :D .... I personally prevere cats and dogs ;D ... or at least something in the same branch of common "mammal"-ancestry in evolution ;D .... But I wont discriminate spider/snake lovers ;D ... just because they are bad people and obviously satanist ;D .... just kidding ;)
