I always figured that she stung him <I>above</I>the neckline of the vest. That scene was particularly weird for me because, even though the very concept of a giant spider is fantastic, the movie-makers mixed up his anatomy.<P>For a spider, the stinger is in the front and the spinarette in the back were Shelob's stinger was. The really strange thing is, in one of the movie books I saw, there is a picture of Shelob with the right anatomy, even though it's a movie picture.<P>Hmmm...I obviously nitpick too much for my own good. I'm starting to wonder how many PETA lawsuits PJ is going to have on his hands after Shelob's abuse at the hands of mean ol' Samwise Gamgee. A paradox indeed.
