Koohii Story 1 "Spiderman, sprout: Pongee is a soft thin woven cloth. Spiderman - a textile buff in his own right- found out that the mold growing on rotting Brussel sprouts may also be used to make pongee. And it's much cheaper than silk!"
Koohii Story 2 Spiderman decides to try a new diet of sprouts to see how it affects the consistency of his web. To his surprise (150m above ground) a lovely line of pongee comes out instead. Time to think quickly.
