Once I had a huntsman on the Wall. A huntsman is a big spider which is 20cm wide (including the legs). That was a shock. I killed it, but maybe I shouldn't Hunstamn are innocuous, unlike the tiny and deadly redback :doh:
If I saw something like that, I'd kill it with a bazooka!! :wtf: -- LuisR

Wait, there is more! When I saw it I get paralysed for a few seconds, then slowly take a book on my desk and throw it at the huntsman. But the huntsman crawled on the wall and dodged my book! Finally I walk in a big circle far away from it, take a broom and ... smash it! (it even pretend to be dead, so I smashed a bit more)

Weird. I've noticed a lot of earwigs in the garden recently and I had crawling about near my laptop earlier in the week.

Dang! There's not much I'm afraid of but spiders are near the top (at least spiders as big as that)... A Quick Google Images Returned This, Looked Like Steve Ballmer for a second...[^]

You know... I think it's important to keep the broom well fed. A spider that big just isn't going to share my home. One of us will be leaving rather quickly. Although, I will say that there are a lot of spiders in my area that are known to be safe and not dangerous to people and that eat a lot of nastier bugs. When I cross paths with one of them I go out of my way to remove them from my home without harming them. This usually involves the cup and paper trick. Put the the paper in their path. The crawl onto it, cover with cup and escort outside. Then RUN FORREST RUN!!!:omg: Because spiders just freak my shorts and I don't want to be near them. I just finished reading about the Funnel Web. Maunder they are all yours. You and Christian both can keep em...;P

The creepy part was hearing them land. There weren't a whole lot of mice though. :~

So i was programming last night (early this morning) when i noticed a movement out of the corner of my eye. I looked over and saw a big earwig crawling around on my shoulder. My instinctive reaction was to flick it off ... it was about 3am, shrieking like a girl wasn't an option. Genius. I spent the next 3 hours glancing at my shoulder, desk, ... everywhere but the screen, every few seconds in paranoia. Upon reflection i'm thinking it may be a fitting pet, after all pirates had parrots on their shoulders, may programmers should have bugs on theirs. :) ...cmk Save the whales - collect the whole set

Automobile Accident Report Reason for Accident: Driver stated "A freakin' giant spider fell jumped out of my sun visor and ran across the dash!" The driver then leapt from the car, and since it was travelling at 75mph, it continued down the road until it struck the other cars. Jeff Martin My Blog
