Cobweb of Disuse: Difference between revisions

* When the Nazis invaded France, many French people would hide their valuables in their wine cellars by bricking off part of the cellar. They would then find spiders and place them in front of the newly built walls so they would build webs and make the walls look older. (In a similar vein, wine merchants would often run a scam against Nazi officials by sprinkling dust on top of bottles of cheap crap to pass it off as old and valuable.)

** Speaking of wine and cobwebs, wine bottles are possibly the only food-item that you'd ''want'' to be delivered to you with dust and cobwebs all over it.
