That's the very rare and much sought after Black Zambizi Wolf Spider. It is believed there are only 17 left in the world today. A live specimen can fetch upwards of two million dollars at Christie's Auction House. Oh, you killed it already?.............nevermind.

Well if that's true Carbo, maybe I can rummage for the pieces and work something out "Weekend at Bernie's" style.
The only good spider is a dead one. This one was crawling around on my bed, and I hate spiders.

i had a bigger one last night...was pretty funny cause i picked him up with a kleenex, but didn't squish him...then i dropped him in the toilet and said bye-bye..

Hmmm. Interesting, but if you substitute &quot;spider&quot; for &quot;wife&quot;, I'd be doin' the talking. She does have a tendency to crawl around on my bed, too.

I would never sit on that toilet again - haven't you ever seen Aracnophobia!?

I saw that movie when i was young and had a ton of nightmares...also every time i sat on a toilet it actually felt like there was a hundred spiders crawling on my back....eek

but as for being afraid of sitting on the toilet, my one friend's mom was woken up one night by splashing...went downstairs and found a 8 inch sewer rat in their toilet....came up through the piping because the device that stops them from coming up broke or something. He said it took her about a month to finally use the toilet again (she was using a pale)

Wow I never knew they had sewer rat blocking mechanisms, or a need for them. If I ever move to the city I'll have them install a septic tank out on the sidewalk in front of the building.

I remember Dave Berry wrote an column about sewer snakes that apparently will come up into toilets. Could be an urban legend, I'm too lazy to look :p
