Spider lives for months with no food--gives birth! OMG

So my housemate caught this spider in his room and shoved it in one of those condiment containers (plastic 1 oz with a pop-on lid). It had been sitting on a shelf for months now and I remember 2 weeks ago me and a visitor were debating whether it was alive or not. We would tap it and it would shake a leg or something. I told my visitor friend he was insane to think that a spider could live for months with no food/water (and very little air exchange on top of that). I mean, the spider can barely even stretch out in that container.
Today by chance I saw the container and the surface was covered in ... baby spiders! OMFG it is a nasty miracle. Of course, now all the babies will have to feast on their mother or something equally disgusting to survive in there. How is this even possible?!

ive left a spider in a sealed mason jar in a hot garage for a month. it had curled up and looked dead, but upon fircely shaking it, it moved. those things have an incredible sense of survival.

take it outside, and let them go. If it survived in a jar for months, it desearves its freedom.

Unsurprising, just look at them! I think spiders are aliens really, they are unlike no other life form on this planet, weird, creepy things they are, I'm sure they can smell fear a mile off too.

Caught a brown recluse last week. 1st time I've encountered one. I love spiders and encourage them to thrive in my basement. But that brown recluse had to die. I put a cotton ball with isopropyl alcohol in a half pint jar and let it die...

Unfortunately, its my housemate's experiment and now that it had babies I don't think he will be letting the experiment go.

do you have an old-school VHS camcorder?
If so, take his favorite porno and pop it into the camera. Good. Now Take the spider jar and set up the camcorder to record it, and open it and let the little monsters crawl out. Throw the jar away and tell your roommate you got rid of them.
Put the porno back in its case and wait.

Aww. He should let it go. It deserves to live.
