I had to kill the hugest spider the other day. It was all up by the corner of the ceiling and when I went to kill it, it dropped behind a poster frame. Then it was just gone. The next day it ended up right by my bed. ACK!!! I bravely squashed the sucker...and left his guts there as a 'Spiders ye beware' warning. (Or really I'm just lazy and freaked out...they will be getting washed off the wall soon). Blech!

See spiders are possible proof that evolution is not always sucessful. They'd have a much greater chance of survival if they evolved to look like baby seals or cute little rabbits...but no they've stuck with this menacing, terror inducing form that causes all of us to swat them without mercy ( except me I make Mr.G swat them) They really need to get on the evolutionary wagon and get themselves some cute little forms.

Yeah, spiders can be pretty creepy, especially when you don't know where they are...Even though I hate spiders, most other normal icky things don't bother me so much, like snakes. And I don't like how some people think that girls should be more afraid of that sort of thing. I know plenty of guys who are more freaked out by them than me!

Creepy-crawlies never really bothered me. I won't go petting a spider, don't get me wrong, but they are very fascinating life-forms. But, this is also coming from a guy who had an Emperor Scorpion as a pet a few years back...

(not mine, but a close approximation)
She was named "Fluffy", and got to be about six or seven inches long when stretched out.

EWW What would one do with a scorpion pet? You can't like pet it or take it for a walk or anything!
I personally would not choose to have something with a stinger as a pet....

Well...that's not true. I don't swat them without mercy when they actually look menacing. Then I raid the hell out of them and wince in terror when I have to pick up the remains and flush them.

Yes, I'm a wuss and on top of that protective of my cat when spiders look too scary.

I'm a fan of the shop vac myself, for the especially big and creepy type of spiders. Although - my new home has mostly brown garden spiders and a billion daddy-long-legs, and those I can handle.

I do have bats though. One got in my house once - holy cow was that weird! It was circling my tiny living room, big and dark but absolutely silent!

ASOFT, it was actually a great pet. No, I could not really take it for walks, but I was able to pet it once or twice. They are very timid creatures, and would rather run than fight, but seeing her go into her 'kung-fu' stance was something to behold!

Hmm....I never woulda guessed that they would be timid!
But I suppose that even if they let you pet them, I wouldn't really want to...no offense to you though Tristan, but they are simply too creepifying for my taste!
