Camel Spiders

[having_fun]

I received this email from one of the troops in the desert. I for one wouldn't like to have to sleep, knowing these things were lurking about.

[Lilith]

I saw that too. I have never had arachnophobia but I think I do now. They look like crabs.

[WildIrish]

I'd have a hard time flushing that thing down the toilet, huh?

Critters like that are why Winchester invented the repeating rifle!

And WI thought I was only kidding about 60-ft. spiders!

*shudders*

[naughtyangel]

Well, I'm not going to open the link...so I'll just take your word for it that they're nasty creatures :p

[PantyFanatic]

Those almost exceed the rule, “Do not be afraid of anything that is smaller than the footprint of your boot”.:eek:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Those wouldn't be smaller than MY footprint, that's for sure!

[PantyFanatic]

Maybe they'll go away if you just give them a camel? :confused:

[Irish]

That shows why they called Saddams hiding place a "spider hole"!

ok,,, that does it... Now because of Nikki's comments I will never have a spider tattooed on my willy... I wouldn't want to scare her, especially since it would have the tendancy to grow larger in times of excitement.

Would make it damn hard to want to go camping huh?:D

[gekkogecko]

Lilith, thank you for saving me the trouble of having to track down the real information to debunk this BS.

[Irish]

having_fun---Have a fly tattooed onto the head.That way,if you get caught,you can shake it & yell---Get off,Get off.Makes for a
good coverup! Irish

I agree with the crab theory. I say we boil 'em and melt up some butter sauce.

They don't look like they have much meat to them! Thank God!

Just out of curiosity (yeah I know curiosity can kill:rolleyes: ) I looked up the largest spider just to see what it does look like.
In case you're interested it's called the Goliath Birdeater (http://www.wcsscience.com/biggest/spider.html) .

[LixyChick]

OMG! Who'd of thunk to use the fangs for toothpicks? OMG!!!!

Very interesting stuff you guys^^^^^^!

[wyndhy]

THANK YOU LILITH! you always go that extra mile, which in this case probably saved me from nighmares. i still woulnd't want to come across a 5" spider though, venemous or not!

[Eliza]

OMG havingfun! *shivers in disgust* I may never sleep again...

[musketeer]

Things like that must be one of the reasons they invented shotguns!!! Had to have a look to confirm I am aracnaphobic.

[Scarecrow]
