    What happens when you wash them down the plug hole? Have washed a few HUGE ones over the past few days, or is it just the same one being washed over and over)

    they have sat nav like turtles and can make their way into various body orifices as you sleep also.

    I'm pretty sure I have swallowed a few spiders in my sleep.

    Say their a bit like moths.They need a ladder.Hmm maybe someone could invent a spider version of mosses ladder :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 275 ✭✭herosa


    Is that on my to do list?

    Well my support group told me to start with a plant and if I can keep that alive then Im ready to move on to a turtle.Then and ONLY then can I consider a real relationship.

    i used to put spiders in jars of water wen i was a kid to kill them but they usualy kept alive with a big air bubble they rapped around themselves somehow so I had to start putting them in paint instead.

    Cheers for that idea. Now I now what I'll have the kids doing in art class this week!....."now dip your spider in the paint and then leave him walk on your page kids...........now take another spider and repeat with a different colour........no Johnny not in the glue, in the paint". (Johnny's a dumbass).

    I had a prime example of a spider to test out the swimming theory but i chickened out when I saw the size of him! This bastard was so big that I heard his footsteps on the carpet! It was a battle of wits but my boot finally won the fight....I'm now waiting for one of his sons to find me and avenge his father's death...maybe I can drown him....

    If you leave them there long enough, then they will die slooowwly, and starve to death;)

    They can climb back up. It is after your children.


    A friend of a friend of mine had a spider nest in their hair for ages, true story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,645 ✭✭✭k.p.h


    It's a known fact that all spiders do is wait until you are asleep and then climb into your ear and lay their eggs in your brain, and then when the little ones hatch they feast on the goo inside.

    Well thats what I tell the missus anyway :p
