"911, what is your emergency?"

"There's a frickin big spider in my house!"

"Can you repeat that sir?"

"A spider! A GIANT-ASS SPIDER!"

"That's it?"

"It's gonna eat me! Send the whole squad!"

"...."

I think we should pass a law that will start a mass genocide of spiders. And all spiders shall be extinct by 2030, all agreed?

Wasn't he born in the US. He should get his hippie arse back to the States. I'm sure he would be accepted by the San Francisco crowd.

Lord_Daemon

Thats kinda like howDaddy Long Legs are the most poisonous spiders in the world.

Well not quite as the poisonous variety of the "Daddy Long Legs" spiders are unable to penetrate the flesh of a human so the only way their poison could hurt you is if you were to milk a bunch of them and inject it into your body. The Brown Recluse on the other hand....

This has been disproven several times. Daddy long legs' venom is not dangerous to us humans, even if they could penetrate our skin.

That's kind of creepy. Won't be taking any trips to Australia anytime soon. Rather take my chances with the swine flu.

As a resident of Australia I would like to say that we are combating and baiting them with delicious cake all the while hoping we're not the ones to discover 'Spider Flu'.

let me just make something clear. Australian major cities (apart from darwin. Those crazy northerners, letting 90 000 crocs live alongside 100 000 humans. and theyve got like half the worlds species of venomous animals living in the seas the rivers and land around darwin.)And NSW and Victoria are relatively safe states. (stay outta the water if yu do not know the rules of going in water in australia. If yu don't there's a slight to major chance yu might die...) i live in sydney and have never met a dangerous animal there for 3 years. its not nearly as bad as yu think. The water is the only place yu might die in every state in australia.) Most toruist books tell yu what to do and wat not to do in the specific city.

EEeeeeeeeek!

Australia is known around the world for its large and deadly creepy crawlies, but even locals have been shocked by the size of the giant venomous spiders that have invaded an Outback town in Queensland.

Scores of eastern tarantulas, which are known as "bird-eating spiders" and can grow larger than the palm of a man's hand, have begun crawling out from gardens and venturing into public spaces in Bowen, a coastal town about 700 miles northwest of Brisbane.

I think God hates Australia. What more proof do you need than all the huge-ass spiders?:cry:

Theokhoth

I'd catch it, put a collar on it and make that SPIDER my pet. The comment about the common brown spider made me LOL

That's not too bad. I remember I saw a spider bigger than my head. Almost like those head hopper in the movie Aliens. The web was across two trees and the I see every single thread clearly. That was rather scary. No one do anything to it because it is in a national park.magicalclick
My friend had one of those in his back yard when he was around 7, he said he walked up to it and it jumped on his head and latched on :'(

:lol: :lol: :lol: ... the ridiculous amount of unwarranted paranoia regarding Australia and insects like spiders is just pathetic. And to say that you're to scared to visit Australia because of a few bugs? Give me a break. I have a bigger reason to fear going to America - perhaps the 10000+ murders by gun each year, not to mention lots of other methods play a part in that :|
