    The worst picture is the first I think - cos you know you don't want to meet what's behind that clock!

    I'm just hoping it's a novelty-sized mini-clock...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,754 ✭✭✭Big Chief


    ok felt a bit of a shudder going up the back of my spine when i seen the first pic :p
    cos you know you don't want to meet what's behind that clock

    least when its behind the clock you can squash it with the clock and find out what it was as it sits on your newspaper.

    its those hairy spiders i hate with a passion, still remember waking up and one was in my bedroom while on holiday years and years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,888 ✭✭✭nanook


    where was the picture taken, i have a fear of spiders, if that was in my room just call the ambulance straight away.

    shudder


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭Sposs


    You should have punched the clock while it was behind it.

    It could be worse, there are these wee bugger in Australia, their about 1cm squared in size, but 1 bite will have you on the ground, dead, within an hour.

    At least with a spider that size, you wont miss him (with the shoe you throw at him).

    thx for telling us that it will make me sleep well 2night ... really thx :eek:

    In the average lifetime, a human swallows seven spiders.
    Sweet dreams.

    But of course, tellox is smart. Tellox looked at picture 1, and didnt look at pictures 2 and 3 because he is arachnaphobic and would have to tear his eyes out if he saw a spider of a huge size.

    Seriously though,I remember I saw a ****ing huuuuggeee spider only 3 months back, was about 3cm squared in size... I remember I was at my pc, and I looked to my left, and there he ****ing was. I very very slowly turned my head back around towards my monitor. 30s later,I looked back,and it hadn't moved from its spot. I was completly petrified at this stage. Finally, I summed up the courage to belt it down the stairs, and admist all my fear, I said "mam, spider, my room. ohmygod." So after 15mins of being too scared to go into my room, my mother finally said "for **** sake owen, its just a ****ing spider" while walking up the stairs, and about to enter my room; "I mean for christs sake, your15 years old, and your afraid o, OH JESUS CHRIST WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!!!"

    ah ffs, i was just about to go to bed:(
    i think i'll skip sleep tonight...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭PiE


    Jaysus folks yer easily upset. From the replies I was expecting something horrifying... not somebody's pet spider.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭Dawg


    agreed, was expecting something horrible.
    Its only a spider. Bigger spider - bigger target, easier to hit from long range :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭BioHazRd


    More appropriate for after hours methinks

    --moved--

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,131 ✭✭✭Pimp Ninja


    Maybe animals/pet issues...

    Hewllrazer may be interested in it, and have some info for us.. I've no idea, and its pretty scary..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭BioHazRd


    I stuck it here, as I am not convinced it's genuine. If it is, then maybe it could be moved on.

    sorry, not afraid of spiders,

    but wasps and hornets???
    im gone....
    on the nearest motorbike to the next town at least!!

    in all fairness, that looks fake im afraid.

    i was in america on holidays a few years back, My sister came running into my room screaming "SPIDER", i ran into her room and i heard (ACTUALLY HEARD) something hit the floor and then the noise of it running, it was a north american wolf-spider (i was told it was anyway) i got it into a litter scoop and threw it into a bucket where it proceeded to try and jump out at me, i fired it out the door into the grass after taking a photo of it in the bucket.

    when i showed it to my cousins, they backed away and looked at me in awe, i think they thought i was dumb or very brave... lookin back i think i was naieve to consider it was just an over grown house spider :)

    i actually think it hissed at me too :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,478 ✭✭✭GoneShootin


    of course its a fake !!

    In Pictures 2 and 3, the spider has not moved at all. Now I dont know about youm but if I upset a spider, it recoils back into its web or moves away AT GREAT SPEED. it never just sits there with a gay pose

    Picture 1, those legs look to be photoshopped. Also, the size and angle of those legs would suggest that the spiders body would have to be terribly malformed to allow them to sit like that.

    fake i tells ya !

    /edit
    my fear is of wasps, i am the slowest person in the world for killing them, just in case that im too slow and i piss one off, and it stings me !! erk !!!!

    When I was in Zimbabwe I had to sleep in rooms with spiders. I really hate them but these spiders were really flat and about 4 - 5 cm leg span and harmless. I just forced myself to go to sleep and they'd usually still be in the same place when I woke up in the morning. There was this one though...it was in the back of a jeep and spotted before any of us got in...it was brown and at least the size of my hand (think of an average 22 yr old female's hand) and it was amazing to look at but really gross and we all ran away Monty Python stylee!
