i went to flush the downstairs toilet(yellow let it mellow kiddies) and a sipder jumped out onto the toilet seat as i was flushing and it repelled from the rim and was maybe 15cm away from the abyss below.
it hung there, a creature, a creature that can die..stared into the vortex and laughed in its face.

no, how could i defy the gods and slay that spider.
he was performing...maybe for me..perhaps for the other spiders just out of my eyesight.

Did you name it? Feed it? Are you ready to have a pet?
If it's name is Charlotte, this thread should be locked.

I was with a friend at work (worked at the same place) and he saw a spider on the lab floor...he atempted to squish it with the bottom of his shoe...

As he lifted his show, the spider was in perfect condition, not a scratch, no a ding. We looked at the bottom of his shoe and there was a little dome on the bottom of his shoe (part of the design).

We let the spider live. Sometimes you just can't help but marvel at the universe.

Was the lizard alive at one time?
Why is that considered a pet?

I had one I put in the toilet one time (thought to be a brown recluse, otherwise I leave em alone) and as it flushed he seemed to walk on top of the water. He made it to a partialy dry portion of the porcelain and climbed his way out. When I tried to flush him again he had shot a web to the underside of the toilet seat and hovered there.

I contemplated letting him live seeing as how he was pretty bad ass and all, but I severed his lifeline (the web) and down he went.
