I once read a story about spiders somewhere. This guy bought a exotic cactus over an ad in the paper. It arrived and he planted it in the backyard. After a few weeks, he noticed it started "breathing" and called the local plant center. After answering a few questions about the description of the cactus, he was told to leave the house immediatly and a medical team will arrive shortly. After leaving, a few minutes later a ambulance arrived with a paramedic and a guy who looked like he had a flamethrower and heat resistant suit. He went in the back yard and started torching the cactus and the surrounding grass. The owner was like "WTF R U DOING?!" After a few minutes his grass was torched and his cactus stopped "breathing" He was allowed back to see why they did that. They tore open the cactus and found HUNDREDS of Giant Bird Eating Tarauntulas(<--doesn't know if they are real) that were two hand lengths big. They said that if he hadn't called, it would have exploded and spread the spiders 200 square feet away from his home. Freaky eh?
