[quote="Sgt. Tsunami":771e2]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?[/quote:771e2]

eek:

Id hate to have seen the size of the cactus, 200 10 inch or so spiders. ed:

As big as a dinner plate. It could sit nicely on your face as you slept, drinking your saliva.

[quote="Kraut Killer":9bef0]Gerard, being an arachnaphobic, you should find this bit of information... "interesting" to say the least.

I heard that humans unknowingly eat at least three spiders each year.[/quote:9bef0]

I eat 3 of the fuckers a day biggrin:

That bastard of a spider right there DOES hiss at you. Years ago now, an old mate of mine were out the backyard playing some cricket, I saw this thing crawling along the ground. Now, we have heaps of holes in the ground, whether they are from trapdoors or whatever. I'm not sure what kind of spider it was but it look exactly like that reared up on it's hind legs. We started thowing sand at it, and to my absolute freaking shock the thing started hiss at us, it was fucking pissed off !! biggrin: I really dont know how I got through childhood doing stupid things like that. I was throwing sand at one of the most dangerous spiders on earth in my backyard and the bastards can bit throw the sole of a thin rubber show.......and yes I'm arachnophobic. I'm just fascinated by them and I love seeing them squirm when I spray half a can of insect killer on them evil: evil: evil: evil:

Dont be put off by Australia's poisonous friends in nature, if you dont provoke them they wont hurt you, simple as that. I've heard stories about the US Marines up in Tully (where the Australian Army teach the world how to fight in the Jungle) faking sickness because of the spiders, snakes and centipedes biggrin:
