Add a Useless Rope by Sam Archer

I couldn't get the idea of a useless man-made spiderweb out of my head, and went for a very literal interpretation. I picked a spot in Golden Gate Park just slightly off a path, so that most passersby will never see it, but someone more adventurous might have fun stumbling across it.

For such a small and simple web, it took a long time. I have new respect for spiders.
Update, a year later:
Every now and then when I'm in the park I go check to see if the web is still there. It's survived surprisingly well!

That spider web reminds me a little of the giant spider web we attempted to install during our Longest String. Cool.

nice. i kind of want it to be giant and covered with melty gummi bears so small children will get caught in it, but then it would hardly be useless.

Best thing you've done so far. Good going.

It's still there one year later! Added a photo.
Very clever. Yes, the spider is indeed the master.
