Bottom line?

When you browse the web on your O2 mobile, they send your mobile number to every site you visit.

No, really.

IRISH UPDATE:

From the O2 Press Office

There are speculative stories about O2 in the UK, and the transmission of customers’ numbers while they are browsing the internet. This issue does not affect O2’s customers in Ireland. We do not transmit customers’ numbers when they are using our internet services. Our service is completely independent of the UK’s.

This massive spider web in Madagascar was woven by Darwin’s bark spider, a recently-discovered arachnid that uses its incredibly-strong silk, ten times tougher than Kevlar, to make the world’s largest webs. These spiders are known to make orb webs in Andasibe-Mantadia National Park up to 2.8 meters square anchored by 25-meter threads.

More pics here, including a photo of the Darwin’s bark spider you’ll wish you’d never seen.
