Random questions: Spiders and what they eat

Just occasionally, I think I'll just throw out to you some of the random questions that have cluttered up my brain for years.

Well, why doesn't my saliva break down my mouth, and why doesn't my stomach digest itself? Willing to bet the answers are all about the same.

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

There are simply some things that humanity isn't meant to know....(just ask your creationist friends!)

Surely the poison can't be toxic to the spider itself...otherwise it wouldn't be able to store it.
