Homeowner Keith Mannebach said when his wife told him that a spider wrote a word in its web, he didn't believe her."My two boys discovered it and told my wife," Mannebach said. "I was watching football and basically I thought she was crazy. I came out and couldn't believe it."Mannebach said the letters L-U-N-C-H can be seen in the web.The family believes the spider spun the web just like the spider from "Charlotte's Web" a tale about a spider and her efforts to save her friend, Wilbur the pig. In the book, Charlotte the spider didn't spin "Lunch" in her web. She spun "Some Pig, Radiant and Terrific."Mannebach said the word was written before moths got caught in the web."That actually was written before the moths were there. My wife thought it was pretty funny. Before she went to bed she thought we would find another note saying how good they were."Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
