    :eek: Run for your lives. Hehe, I found a spider's exoskeleton that it had shed, it was pretty big. I still wonder where the (now bigger) spider is? :~ Bruce Duncan CP#9088, CPUA 0xA1EE, Sonork 100.10030

      What we really need is a shot of that thing next to something else, so that we can see how big it really is. Mmm... your hand ought to do the trick. ;)

        That looks suspiciously like a tarantula, Chris. Over here the native strains are non-poisonous (except the ones the hitchhike up from down south). They can still bite with authority, though. Are yours harmless?

                Well the weekend is officially over; the partying is almost up; and my bank balance is hovering dangerously near the big red zero again... it's time to get back to work. On the up side, I did get to kiss a man hairer than my father's arse and wear a leopard skin thong... Kiwi Colin said it best - work sucks. I want to be 16 again. :(( Now off to find a glass to catch that spider! ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v.

                  As long as it isn't one of those Sydney Funnel Spiders I have heard about. Supposed to make the poisonous tarantulas look like poofdas. :eek: Though I have always thought that a quick death would be preferable to those wolf spider thingees we have. The ones whose venom slowly dissolves your flesh off. X| You probably remember what the disolving flesh spiders are called Roger. I would suppose that you probably drink with the damn things on weekends out there in Bullhead. After all, its them or the women right? :laugh:

                      I remember going to a Museum in the States with a friend (from Oz). They showed a tarantula and w oohed and aahed with the appreciation of those who have seen lotsa spiders in their living rooms - and then we read that the bite is no worse than a bee sting. We were so disappointed... The FunnelWeb's are all down the east cost and inland (I've only seen a couple around here) but they are definitely a Real Man's Spider. The one in the pic is a Huntsman - it totally harmless (ie it's bite is like a mild bee sting :P) We've got the disolving flesh spiders too - white tails cheers, Chris Maunder

                            Never urinate in the waterways in the Amazon. There is a little fish that follows the warm water then enters your penis and dies inside. When the flesh decomposes the bones poke out and hurt you. Sorry can't remember the name of the Fish, But I've urinated above water to watch them appear. Anyhow the only way to get the skeleton out is with a scalpel and infection sets in real quick in the tropics. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

There's nothing down here that you can't simply get up and walk (briskly) away from. As long as you spot them before they spot you. And as long as they don't fall into the category of shark, crocs, jellyfish, drop bear or carnivorous sheep. cheers, Chris Maunder
