big spider

Derelan · Aug 28, 2003

This picture I took in Cape Breton, but it could have been taken anywhere. This was a huge spider, about 1.5" tall, sitting outside the house on a web created only to block my path down a stairwell. The spider was out for vengance for my previous public display of arachnaphobia.

Last time I saw one like that I was cutting the grass, unfortunately for it, I was using a weed eater. :lol:

Right about then would be when I'd break out my homebrew hairspray flamethrower and lay some hurt on that eight-legged sucker.

right about then i'd take a cup, catch it, and then put it in the microwave, watch the legs explode.

Holy fuck man! There's one of those on the porch at my gramars house

They're really scary eh? Yah, It's on the roof above one of the chairs. It's weird though, they only look like they've got six legs.

Heh, luckily for me, I think it might be dead, judging how last time I checked, it hasn't moved in three weeks

Spiders are useful, guys. They eat a lot of the creeping/crawling/flying things that would like to invade your houses.

Derelan · Aug 29, 2003

as long as they dont move really quickly, or touch me, i have no arachnaphobia, and so I was able to get really close to them.

Jebus... that's when you bust out your nail gun that for some reason sounds like a .357 and peg that damn thing.

i think i'll never understand what ppl hate about spiders :con:

Freon · Aug 29, 2003

some scientists think it may come from the time when we (mamals) were only small rodents and spiders were actually BIGGER than us. kind of a genetic memory. even today, after millions of years we would still be afraid of them.

you people are pussies. Only time spiders scare me is if they craw out of my hair, and thats just from instinct. Black Widows though... NEVER ****ing mess with them especially when you find a nest and step on the egg sac. Lets just say me and my friend were running really ****ing fast.

When you see that red, or you see a bee (yellow black pattern), or the shape of snake you jump beacuse its instinct. WTF is this genetic memory ****. Its called instinct. Its about all the instinct humans still have.

Spiders help me in the battle against evil mosquitos. I love them. Although they should do a way better job.

I hate mosquitos. Alot.

Although I think you could have explained in further detail, you are right. Not only is the eye coincidentally designed to see yellow more than any other color, but it is also all mammal's instinct to recognize yellow+black as a warning sign.

However, my argument is completely pointless as the Black Widow spider is an extremely dangerous one that has the same methods of attack as a bee (only attack when nessecary), yet its warning color is red, which the eye can hardly notice at all.

C.Chan, wtf do you think instinct IS??!?!

when a species is created instinct isn't just *poof* there and then *poof* gone. It's learned, the hard ass way.
