Telepathic spiders are an even worse idea than telepathic Smaug. I don't think the spiders need to talk, but if they do, I hope their beaks move.
"BOTH [political] extremes are dangerous. But more dangerous are team fanboys who think all the extremists are on the OTHER side." (CNN reader comment) It is always those with the fewest sensible things to say who make the loudest noise in saying them. --Precious Ramotswe (Alexander McCall Smith)

Psychic powers came from the Ring, as is clearly written by Tolkien.

Writing about something and portaying it are two different things.

The only place he said that was in Mordor and Sam was *wearing* the Ring at the time.

Because that's the word for speaking without using your voice.

Spider anatomy shouldn't allow for physical talking
