    That is why the UK is the coolest coutry in the world. You can walk anywhere you like and be quite sure that nothing will jump out at you with the intention to end your life! Nothing posionous or biting, or stinging, or with big teeth, or with flesh eating virus, or anything that will lay it's eggs into your skin etc. [We do have adders in some places, but they're so totally ineffectual as to be not worth worrying about]. That is why everyone should move to England. Joel Holdsworth Wanna give me a job over the summer? View my online CV and Job Application[^]

                In the UK, a "Daddy long legs" is a flying insect which is out and about this time of year. Its not a spider or spider derivative as mentioned in the article. I will try and find a reference to it. Roger Allen - Sonork 100.10016 Strong Sad: I am sad I am flying Who is your favorite Strong?

                  I've been here in Texas for over 3 years, and until recently, I hadn't seen anything bigger than maybe the size of a quarter (in terms of body mass) However, this morning my wife calls me from the truck (still sitting in the driveway), and tells me there's a huge spider on the side of the house. I walked outside to check it out and it was the biggest tarantula I've ever seen up close. With it's legs bunched up close to it's body, it was BIGGER AROUND THAN YOUR STANDARD COFFEE CUP! He didn't like it much when I knocked him off the side of the house with a broom, and when he reared up in a defensive position, he was TALLER tahn your average coffee cup. When I backed up a little, he actually LUNGED AT ME! Then he ran after me as I retreated into the garage. Given his aggressive nature, I herded him into a large bucket and walked about 30 feet from the house and dumped him in a tall stand of grass. He was trying to jump out of the bucket during the entire time. This is the SECOND huge tarantula I've seen in the last month (I found the first one on the back patio). ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

                      Ah, Crane flies! They're a common porch denizen at night in the US, and aren't the least bit poisonous. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

                        When I lived in the Dominican Republic we had these big as in plate sized spiders. Their fangs looked like pencil points. Late one night when I went to get a glass of water I saw one hunting a cricket in the kitchen. It jumped about 3 feet off the wall and I HEARD IT LAND on the floor. Suddenly I wasn't so thirsty. :)

                            sweeeeet! I've been in Canada so long now that even mocking the "spiders" they have over here has lost it's fun. Gimme somthing with fangs. Gimme something with 4 sets of glowing red eyes. Gimme a spider that knows exactly when and where you leave your house each morning so it can spin it's steel-like web at face height and sit there waiting for you with a big grin. cheers, Chris Maunder

                                    dude, I so did not need to read that this morning. i'm in Ft. Worth and I hear those things are around here too... If it makes you feel any better, I killed a Black Widow a few weeks ago. (I killed one last year too) I had never even seen one in real-life until I moved out here :omg: ~Nitron.

                                      You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. From what I understand, this is more common than I was aware. My neighbor has been here for about 30 years, and he's seem them as big as half the size of a dinner plate. My wife isn't going to be happy when she hears about that. She absolutely hates spiders. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

                                        I've been here in Texas for over 3 years, and until recently, I hadn't seen anything bigger than maybe the size of a quarter (in terms of body mass) However, this morning my wife calls me from the truck (still sitting in the driveway), and tells me there's a huge spider on the side of the house. I walked outside to check it out and it was the biggest tarantula I've ever seen up close. With it's legs bunched up close to it's body, it was BIGGER AROUND THAN YOUR STANDARD COFFEE CUP! He didn't like it much when I knocked him off the side of the house with a broom, and when he reared up in a defensive position, he was TALLER tahn your average coffee cup. When I backed up a little, he actually LUNGED AT ME! Then he ran after me as I retreated into the garage. Given his aggressive nature, I herded him into a large bucket and walked about 30 feet from the house and dumped him in a tall stand of grass. He was trying to jump out of the bucket during the entire time. This is the SECOND huge tarantula I've seen in the last month (I found the first one on the back patio). ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

                                          dude, I so did not need to read that this morning. i'm in Ft. Worth and I hear those things are around here too... If it makes you feel any better, I killed a Black Widow a few weeks ago. (I killed one last year too) I had never even seen one in real-life until I moved out here :omg: ~Nitron.

                                          LOL... I squash Black Widows daily, even after spraying the yard with diazanon. The little suckers breed like illegal immigrants, and are toxin immune and probably radiation hardened, as well.:sigh: Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.
