IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        Almost totally on-topic... :)
        Almost....


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        Just another image, only playing with the topic.
        A lot of things reused from other people...

        + The wall is an height-field, generated with POV (crackle pigment).
        + The shelf is basic CSG.
        + The fly, on the upper right, is a quick and dirty model made with
sPatch,
          extremly horrible when viewed form close-up, but that can make
illusion
          at this distance.
        + The webs are made with a macro I wrote, using the link include file
          from Chris Colefax.
        + The ants are from Micha Riser, found on the POVRay Objects
Collection.
        + The Spiderman figurine is a free model from 3DCC (a Yahoo egroup).
          The mesh and maps are not included in the zip.
        + The Teddy bear is a free model from Daz3D.
          The mesh and maps are not included in the zip.

        The lightning is a unique light source, with soft shadows,
        and radiosity for global illumination.

        Even if it was done in not much time, I hope that you will enjoy it.
