Does it do whatever a spider can?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I wonder what it would look like IRL, it's not like you can make a true floating statue, except maybe with magnets.

It would look like this:


Also I think that the OP creator smiles about the "image of spider on statue of spider". But this is how DF statues work, it does not say "shape", it says "image". So I guess DF Statues are like big stone slabs with engraved images.

No I've seen a dozen "lol fractal artifact omg" threads go by. I was just amused that Spiderman is jumping.

The statue was dropped by a dead (heavily modded) dwarf so the description could be slightly messed up.

Ahahaha, I missed the spider MAN part :D.

"This is a statue of a jumping spider man and a green goblin. The jumping spider man strikes down the green goblin."

It could totally happen in the DF :P.

Just had a dwarf make a statue of a deity.  The deity is screaming.  Never seen that before.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

But we've had batmen for years! Why has no-one made threads about them?
