How Realistic Is Spider-Man's Web Slinging Antics?

Given that Spider-Man was my first favorite fictional character, it is always interesting to look at how his powers would stack up in real life especially his webbing and web-shooting.

Truthbomb Apologetics: Article: The Spiderman Fallacy by Robin Schumacher

Chad, of the blog Truthbomb Apologetics blog, has pointed out an article countering a common atheistic objection against the validity of the Bible. It's called the Spider-Man Fallacy. It's defined as follows:
Archaeologists 1,000 years from now unearth a collection of Spiderman comics. From the background art, they can tell it takes place in New York City. NYC is an actual place, as confirmed by archaeology. However, this does not mean that Spiderman existed.
Often used to illustrate the flaw in the assertion by evangelical Christians that archaeologists unearthing biblical cities today "proves" that the Bible was written by a supernatural force.
The Spiderman Fallacy is committed any time the discovery of a mundane element from a myth, legend, or story is taken to mean that ALL other parts of that story, even the supernatural, are also true."
The article was written by Robin Schumacher. I think it's worth checking out. One of the things that bother me about the argument is that if there is no discovery of any element of a story is found to be true or had existed, most are comfortable concluding that the story is fiction. However skeptics are unwilling to think that it's not valid evidence for the Bible. A little honesty would be nice.
