If only there was a frantic, herky-jerky kinda dance one could do to ward off the affects of spider venom

We import a lot of stuff from India.

It's a pity that they've outlawed all of the most effective fumigants.

Boatmech: Found this -

Original(?) Artcle from MAY 22 by an Indian paper.

"He said in both cases, doctors who attended the victims have confirmed they found no symptoms of
death being caused by spider bite."

2 deaths? More people in India die on the roads than that. Hell, from what I can tell, Indians die by the bushel at all times - it's just that they reproduce even faster.

You'd think that they learn that having more people on their reservations just means more people to split casino earnings with.

vodka: whatever, 99% of the stuff you here from shiathole 3rd world towns is bunk

Detroit?

Are tarantulas even spiders? I know they're arachnids, but I thought I remember reading once that they belong to a separate family.

Well the first picture is of Haplopelma Lividium, which is a well known pissy spider that likes to jump at everything. But I doubt it has killed anyone.

Spent primary school in Katoomba, Blue Mountains (Aus). There were funnel web nests all through our yard.

We'd drop a bit of high octane model aeroplane fuel down the silk lined holes and light up the entrance. It would only burn for a second but it would flush out the spider, and they'd be pissed. When we weren't being smart arses and trying to flick them on each other with our sticks we'd squish em.

The day we knocked down an old brick fence we counted 13 of them, so they are quite happy to live away from their signature web funnels.

Don't worry, I'll hold 'em off with my flaming penis.



Ack! I should've sent in the red shirts!!!

There is nothing on this earth that I hate more than spiders.

At day, we hide from the spiders. At night, we hide from the zombies.

Dammit, my tacticool shotgun will be useless against this new threat. Time to stock up on Raid.
