Aracnaphobes: Want nightmares tonight?

Edited on Sun Aug-14-11 08:56 PM by Taverner

Yes, they like to hitch rides on bananas...

And when they bite you, if you're male, you get a hard on for an hour, and then you DIE!

3. If I get bitten by all of those, will I get the fabled "erection lasting longer than four hours"?

Because you know, then I'd have to call the doctor IMMEDIATELY.

4. I think how it works...

...is that you get first hour, and your estate gets the remaining 3.

6. spider are, from a safe distance, really really cool. As long as they're not ON me, that's a safe

distance.

I had a beautiful orb weaver on my porch for a while; she was really quite spectacular.

I would have shrieked and jumped and flailed like a crazy person if she'd dropped on me, but I would never hurt her (intentionally).

They look spooky, but they're fantastic. And this world would be overrun by insects were it not for spidies.

8. flying spiders over Texas

Ballooning is what they call it but when you see millions of spider webs flying in the air as far as the eye can see .. one might tend to freak out! They really are spiders and we actually caught one on film and you can even see it take off again and sail away.

10. Well, that's just great.

Prolonged drought, 110°+ temps, Rick Perry as governor... and now flying spiders.

God hates Texas.

11. I read somewhere that no matter where you are in the world,

except for Antarctica, you are no more than six feet away from a spider.

22. They're welcome in our house. It is amazing what they can eat and few bite humans.

The little black ones with little butts and what look like green or blue fangs can be nasty. If you wave two fingers at them they'll wave their front legs back like they're ready to fight - and they jump! They can leave some nasty welts and they always seem to leave a line of them across my back while I'm sleeping. They're the only kind I don't handle. If the others are in a bad location I just get them to crawl on me and move them to a safer spot - indoors or out.

20. Oh, how cute!

I have a little spider,
And I'm very fond of him;
He climbs onto my shoulder,
And then up to my chin;
He crawls atop my nose,
And then he hops onto my head;
Now he's a tired little spider
So I put him into bed.

Okay, most spiders aren't exactly cute, but I like them anyway. :-)
