Only some varieties of tarantula do this. They can permanently blind an attacker.

Don't piss off something with a hairy butt.

Doesn't masturbation cause this?

I don't like where this thread is headed.

Yeah, try accidentally inhaling those hairs and getting them stuck in your lungs. It's a hoot.
 
2010-01-01 07:11:54 AM
Ugh, ditto with a dog that has recently been "groomed" with clippers. Those hair leavings get nasty sharp. And they work their way *into* your skin (has to do with how the hair is formed.)

I have a phobia about spiders of all sizes except for tarantulas. I think of them as furry little mammals, like an eight legged mouse.

there is a direct correlation between:

1. those who keep exotic pets such as snakes and spiders

2. sexual deviance

3. face, neck, and hand tattoos

4. atheism

I fap with tarantulas. There is a difference.

Go to doctor, say "Can you take the nasty pain away but leave me the swelling, please?"

FTFA "We suggest that tarantula keepers be advised to routinely wear eye protection when handling these animals," the doctors said.

I suggest tarantula keepers try to realise that what they're doing is extremely farked up.

Mysteries unlikely to be revealed in 2010:

*How Starbucks' coffee manages to be both strong and flavourless
*Why people reply to someone whose user name is "The troll" Yes, yes, I know, he claims it's his surname (yeah, right.)

"He sensed movement in the terrarium. He turned his head and found that the tarantula, which was in close proximity, had released 'a mist of hairs' which hit his eyes and face," the doctors wrote.

I hate when that happens.

Well...not always.

Seriously, that one's a bot. It posts the same hooks, and responds the EXACT SAME WAY every time it catches the words 'the troll' in a post.

New World tarantulas have these irritating, potentially blinding hairs. Old World tarantulas are bitey. What a choice!

I'll stick with normal, safe pets, such as cats, dogs, and emperor scorpions.

Awesome :) 2/4 for me. Does a mass amount of tattoos not on those 3 places count for something?
Owned 2 tarantulas - one of them had a bald spot on its butt from kicking hairs at my rather nosy dog. The hairs do suck if too many get on you, really itchy.
Also had 4 large snakes. I totally get the award here.

I used to have a tarantula. I'll admit I pretty much only had it to scare certain people. Before I got it I'd never realized how those suckers can jump. It was pretty cool, I guess.

I'm pretty sure that if you have a pet tarantula, you are a creep. So maybe get rid of the spider, and you won't have to worry about this sort of thing.

Good call.

There is a direct correlation between:
1. those who keep exotic pets such as snakes and spiders
2. sexual deviance
3. face, neck, and hand tattoos
4. atheism
5. being a creep
 
2010-01-01 07:51:24 PM
uh...

1. two dogs, two cats
2. doggy style isn't deviant
2. no tattoos
4. yep, atheist

I break your correlation.

I came for the picture of Clocky and the flashing spider... can leave satisfied... er... I mean disturbed.

Watched the Dakota Fanning "Charlotte's Web" with my kid the other day. fark that was disturbing.

PsyLord: I came for the picture of Clocky and the flashing spider... can leave satisfied... er... I mean disturbed.

Those two things were the reasons I almost didn't click in this thread. At least no one has posted the spider clock pic with the clock removed...

/lives in the country, where spiders are frequent house guests
//hates those creepy wolf spiders -- those things get as big as tarantulas

Without Fark, I never would have known that the Uncanny Valley also applies to hideous spider/rodent hybrids.
