Name that spider

At Channel 3 News, we had the same reaction many of our viewers did when we saw the story of a giant spider who invaded a Tallmadge family's porch.

But, after talking with the family -- we were struck by the fact that they are trying to name the huge (well, big for northeast Ohio) spider.

What would you name the spider?

That is a cool looking spider, as long as it stays in Tallmadge. I would name him Boris.

What a great spider. They need to make sure it doesn't freeze when the weather gets cold. I would name it "Buttercup".

Yay Tallmadge, thats where I live. I say, Lemon Butt. Not quite as fierce as it should be, but good to make a spider sound cute.

I think an appropriate name would be "Hitch."

And I agree that saving the spider from the cold is a good idea - it's not the spiders fault it was brought back to this climate - they were the visitors...

I would name it Darfur, Africa.

Because a news organization such as yourself should leave this trivial stuff up to Action News. Focus on REAL news that clevelanders NEED to hear.

Thanks for keeping Cleveland dumb!
