I think this is pretty cool actually.

Think about it, every day, spiders sit and watch in horror as a human kills another spider. Maybe it was a friend, a family member, who knows? The spiders have to act somehow, so they hide in our walls, training and getting stronger so they can all have a mass attack on humans and get back at them.

This is ak example of my theory. And word will spread from one spider to the next, until every spider world wide knows about it, and all spiders around the world will come out from hiding and attack every human.

That, my friends, is how the human race will become extinct in 2012.

P.S. - im completely sober

to me it looks to be the size of a volkswagen...how big was that thing...it looks like one from hairy potter...
I always tell the kids to take the toys out of the bath because they get yucky if you don't...but they don't listen and some little rescue hero thing was left in the tub, anyway ran a bath for my youngest child and the water is started and he hops in, then from I guess the under side of this doll thing comes this like 3 in diameter from leftmost leg tip to rightmost leg tip monstrosity to the top of this toy and now I am like frozen, but I grab my son out of the tub and he is all mad at me, but I am like Aidan go in the hallway...and I grab the toy and the spider is like reaching with it's legs trying to find somewhere to go, but I am holding the toy and it like stretched out and just pawed at me, and I thought I would faint...So, I dropped the thing toy and all back in the water, so now the spider is like drowning because it fell off the toy, so now I feel bad...so I gran like this color change fairy wand something or other stick thing with like a star on it and I use the star to try and grab the spider...so now I have it on the stick and I can't stop moving my feet...so I call my oldest son in to help me..and every few minutes I like yell....Eyaahhhh...because being this close to this thing is about to make my heart explode..but he grabs a cup and a tupper ware square...and I ask him to just catch the spider while I hold the stick, because there is no way to do this with only 2 hands...so anyway, he has the cup and the lid and he is getting closer and closer, and just before he gets there the spider like turns around real fast and just looks at him and he squeals and drops the cup...so he and I switch...I hold the cup and lid while he holds the stick...so we prance through all this and then I finally get this thing in the cup, and I get the lid on, but I can feel the weight of the spider, and the clickety clack of it's weirdo legs on the inside of the cup and I start like just pacing right in front of the door because I can't stand still and I also can't open the door...so anyway I am freaking out everytime this monster moves...so I finally get out the door and into the yard and I just run across the yard and throw the whole thing...cup, lid, spider...whatever...I had to get the eff out of there...spiders and being close to spider just ellicits a response that is out of my control...and being out of control of my body makes me upset... I just can't take the movement...the quick moves maybe...I don't know what it is ...but something about all those joints moving all at once... ugggghhhhh makes my insides feel funny

*love* the part about feeling its legs move! Delicious shudder!

My uncustomary arachnophobe moment came when i saw my first hones'tagarsh Black Widow after moving out West. She-who-was-still-my-mate had just watered this dorky pot with a deep tray at the bottom that was supposed to trap and wick water back to the plant ... system never worked. but after one good watering, i was weeding around its base when (strike tremolo violins!) this black leg appears in Super Slo-Mo, then another, then this great black shiny living marble hoists its monstrous bulk through an air vent. The movements and timing of its ... emergence ... were horror-movie perfect. I generally like and rescue spiders, but Black Widows ... (echo-y voice) Must Die.

Thanks for the creepiest thread ever. +rep to Cap'n for daring to get close enough to that spider to get a picture. If I could, I'd throw a -rep for those pictures of trees covered in spider webs and spiders; I know just what tonight's nightmares are going to be about!

I was sitting on the ledge just outside the front door of the Golden Nugget on Fremont Street. When a security suggested I move. I asked weren't we allowed to rest there. He then pointed his index finger to the plant I was sitting in front of and there was a nice, medium (probably small) sized Black Widow.

Needless to say I just moved along.

you do realize in india they wipe their asses with their hand after they take a shit right?? and no, they don't wash them off when they're all done either...
my friends sister went for her job, and is left handed, and got nothing but dirty looks as she ate with her left hand as it's the hand indian people use to wipe their asses with, so they basically think she was eating with her shit hand..
not only that, but she said it was a basic shit hole.. they dump piss and shit out in the streets, bath in the same water that the animals eat and shit and piss in, not to mention bath in the same water that they dump dead bodies in after burning on the bank of the river in a funeral pyle...

i love to travel, but you will never catch my ass in india, spiders or no.. :)

I heard the eating spiders in your sleep thing was started by some guy on the internet who wanted to prove that it was way easy to get people to believe anything that was posted. This was a long time ago apparently. I still don't know if its true or not, anyone know? lol

OMG!!! Swarming tarantulas that jump at you to bite when you try to shoo it away. Then latches on and doesn't want to let go!!! And it swarms at night!!! Holy Toledo.

I wasn't going to India and I'm certainly not now.

Below is the first few paragraphs and here is the link to the whole story.

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/environment/flora-fauna/tarantulas-invade-assam-town-kill-two/articleshow/13753398.cms

Jintu Gogoi's neighbourhood in Sadiya, Upper Assam, is no longer friendly. Over two weeks ago, an army of eight-legged freaks invaded it. It all happened in the evening on May 8. Most of the inhabitants of Chaulkhowa Nagaon village had been to a Bihu function. When the programme drew to a close, swarms of spiders suddenly descended from nowhere and started biting the people. The festive mood soon turned into one of panic with people bumping into each other and tripping over empty benches in their frantic bid to egress. Jintu was bitten by one of these critters.

It all sounded like a scene from a Hollywood horror flick, but as Jintu showed his blackened, swollen finger, to TOI, it became clear that it was not some elaborate hoax created by some mischief-monger, it was something that happened for real. But the panic it triggered could have been certainly avoided had there been enough awareness among laymen and mandarins about arachnids.

Jintu spent a day at the Sadiya Civil Hospital after he complained of excruciating pain and nausea. When he returned home, he had more terrifying stories to tell. Terror was still writ large on his face even two weeks after the incident, but he thanked his stars for being alive. His neighbour,

Purnakanta Buragohain, was not that lucky. He died in the hospital after a spider allegedly bit him.
