my wife says they come from spiders, I say they come from dirt or dust.

When a spider is done with it's web and moves on to a new location, it abandons it's old one.
It collects, dust, lint cat hair etc.
That's when it technicaly goes from a spider web to a cob web.
You're both right.
Mark this day on your calendar Sir, it may not happen again for while. You were right too..

Cobwebs come from spiders, even if you do not see the spider.
Why do you never see a spider in it? You are too late. Fresh webs are nearly invisible. When you see a web easily it is already covered with dust and abandoned.

i've always wondered what a "cob" was, and do they spin webs? my thinking is that spiders spin webs, then vacate because of inactivity, and the left-over web attracts dust and dirt...why the cobweb name, i'm not certain.

It is not only threads spun by a spider.It is a network of intrigue.It can be confusion or indisticntiveness. There is an old saying: "Get the cobwebs out (of your head)".
