wow
that's some fucking spider

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... d_U6obb9Ps


Ant Hadleigh, a kite-surfer from Cairns, Australia, went to visit a buddy in Freshwater, moseyed on out to his friend's backyard, and this was happening: a giant spider straight-up eating a snake. Watch in the video how the spider holds the snake aloft, and Hadleigh puts his hand RIGHT NEXT TO IT. Just in case you were running low on things to wake up screaming about, here's his description: "You could see the spider just chewing into it and the part which the spider was eating had gone all black and the insides were bubbling." He added that the previous day the spider had battled --and also devoured -- a wasp.
fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    I don't even know if the word "hate" is strong enough for how much I detest spiders, but they are fascinating creatures. I will NOT be watching that video, however :lol:

    :shock: :cry: If I saw that I'd probably run screaming out of the yard and all the way to the airport and get the fuck out of the country, lol.

    Yep, I`m really glad that dock spiders are the largest eight legged freaks we get up here!

    i take pics of golden orbs all the time. the first time i saw one i did think it seemed on the large size for a web spinner but then i remembered its the ones that hunt on the ground i should be weary of.


    heres the spider that i found on my living room window saturday.

    If I saw that on my house and it disappeared and I didn't know where it went, I'd have to move or else never sleep again.

    Oh a few... but the real perks is hanging out with other superheroes...

    Like, I've been on a few dates with Invisible Woman... she's pretty cool... fairly quiet though...

    If you'd have said Wonder Woman I'd be impressed, but as it stands you disappoint me, this entire board, and your family name.

    I can't watch it either. :O

    I can play Skyrim with its gigantic creepy spiders who want to kill you but I can't tell you how many people with arachnophobia wanted the game developers to make them optional. I don't know if they were able to play the game or not. Spiders...::::shiver::::
