I'll stick the pixie stick up my rear end, sit in the sun until the paper had dissolved and the sugar melted. The flies will begin to fly up my back side, then the spiders will follow. The spiders and flies will slowly eat my innards, and I will die a slow, miserable and agonising death.
I would train the spiders to follow my commands, first simple stuff like drawing a line in the sand and giving them pixie stick if they follow it, but eventualy train each of the spiders to do speciffic functions. I would then put thoes spiders on the little bits of paper and let them fly off to land, gather bits of stuff, and send out spiders trained to tell the others to fly back on there bits of paper carrying whatever they could. I would use that to make better kite thingys for the spiders and send out more and more until. I had enough stuff to have spiders glue it all together and make a boat, and carry the spiders with me and spread spiders under my control over the world.
I would use the sugar from the pixie stick to make glue. Sharpen my keys to make a fine cutting device. Cut my wallet into small pieces. Then make shoes for all the spiders on the island.

that's all fine and good until you lose track of which spider is which and train the "Drill Sergeant" spider to be a flyer, so he flies out with your other spiders and kills them all.
Hmmm , obviously the key element in this situation is the spider colony.
Provide theses are social spiders , I'll manage to feed the community with insects that are attracted by fish corpses. Then I'll start selecting the bigger individuals by feeding them better and take care of them to increase their lifespan. Hopefully new species arise , and the once tiny spiders slowly grow huge. As there isn't much to eat , though , the prefered specie will be amphibious so they participate to fishing tasks... else , they might be too hungry to not eat the most avaible food...
Submarine webs filled with bubbles would be covered with tree's sheets , to not get glued in. If the waters here have enough fishes , the spider colony may increase in size , and follow streams to finally reach the continent. If the continent's natives are nice , I'll manage to keep the spiders in a marine park. Else free hunting party... and a visit at some genetic lab to improve the strains in order to convert the country into a spider farm.

since spiders web is stonger than steel, i would get train them to spin a big cruise ship. if they make it big enogh, i should be able to use the lucky penny to get across the channel to mainland europe before it sinks.

Well..... first of all I would hire all the biggest spiders to be my bodyguards (with the money in my wallet). I would send them out to recruit more spiders, who would not be paid, as they would be kept in line by the bigger ones. Eventually I would have all the spiders under my control. (At this point I would be surviving by eating the spiders who refused to join the glorious spider revolution! Or possibly fish if that is allowed) I would build a laboratory out of some of the trees on the island and use it to find the secret of eternal life. I would give this to my most trustworthy spiders, in exchange for which they would be my slaves for 100,000 years (after that they can go, 10,000 years isn't a lot when u live forever <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ).
Over the course of these 100,000 years they would evolve into creatures more intellegent than humans, and will have their own society complete with Shopping malls, Computers, and NS! They would also have developed telekinetic and telepathic abilities, hence they will be spiders which hovar without flapping. By now the spiders would be perfectly capable of handling their own affairs, with my immortal slave-spiders being the Ministers of the United Spiderdom (a catchy name i think). Humans wil either be dead from a nuclear war, or will have taken off to another planet in big spaceships, so my spiders will be free to inherit the globe.
Eventually, I would get the spiders to build me a big spaceship so that I can fly off into the stars and conquer more planets with my army of spiders. In this way, I would finally become lord and master of the entire universe, after my mighty spider fleet crushes the pitiful human fleet and their secret weapon which they will call the 'death star'. (My fleet will have a secret weapon called the "Spider which hovars without flapping star")
Oh, and the pixy stick will become the symbol of the United Spiderdom in the same way that the Eagle is for the USA. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'd pretend i was a spider. Then, once i was a part of their community, i'd start demonstrating for a new leadership, a monarchy if you will. After i get out of prison for assaulting a shop keeper, id carry on with my campain to get a Monarchy. Once the king and queen have reproduced, i would get to know the prettiest daughter. Once we became close, i would claim her as my bride, and we would start a new species. Once we got to the space age (i forgot to mention i've discovered eternal life in there somewhere), i would build a spaceship and pick the best of my Warriers, and go off and conquer the moon (The damn Nazi's, who had risen back to power and taken over southern europe, are no in control of the moon). Once we had the moon, we'd move on. Then I'd die trying to impress a young woman. I got outside the ship while proudly announcing "I don't need oxygen or an atmosphere!" then took off my helmet. While i didn't in fact need oxygen or an atmosphere, i was not invunerable to the asteroid that hit me.

You almost pass out from exhaustion after having been deserted island, when you discover little spider/crab-like thingies all over the place.

Using the heat of the fire and the sand on the beach, I would meticulously sculpt test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks, petry dishes, and other laboratory equipment from the melted sand (glass). Then carefully, I would mix the pixie stick sugars into the petry dishes, and closely observe the behavior of the the bacteria consuming it using a microscope (also made from the sand).
Then, while still waving around the picture of my girlfriend, I would use my sharpened keys to splice the DNA of a virus to modify the DNA of those it attacked into producing deadly intestinal enzymes of the Arachnidus Verrious Hairus (spiders to the lapers) and introduce it into the petry dishes. Naturally, the bacteria would all get infected and start producing this very harmful enzyme for the spiders.

Only to realize, this is "Real-Life" not "Half-Life".
I like the slingshot idea, that had me laughing. lololol
