Just don't get too close to it when shooting it, otherwise it might grab the gun and shoot back.

Every time one of these threads pops up I laugh. People are so afraid of spiders. I just don't get it.

yeah it doesnt make any sense. i know several people (including a guy) who are super afraid of spiders, and no matter how much i try to reason with them they refuse to give up their fear.

FUCK YOU Mr. Pome man. They're terrible creatures, and the one in that video was fucking gigantic. Like someone else said, shooting it is a good idea but you'd have to stay far enough away so the fucker doesn't grab the gun and turn the thing on you. You'd probably be best off laying prone in the living room, with a rifle that has a scope and bipod, and sniping the son of a bitch. Even better if you have explosive rounds. Fuck your house, the spider needs to go.

Google images: spider bite

Necrotising fasciitis mofo. Yeah I know it's rare. So is being struck by lightning. You gonna go play golf in a thunderstorm?

NOPE.

I'm not afraid of spiders. But after getting bit by one, suffering a severe deep skin infection, a burst elbow joint sack and almost MRSA/blood infection (MRSA is more common with spider bites) or necrosis I'm less non-chalant about them.

I'm not scared of being bit per say, but if I do get bit my ass is going to the emergency room pronto. A tiny spider bite can turn into a VERY big deal. That one bite I had took a good 3-4 months to fully heal including the joint.

And the necrosis is a specific venom from specific spiders, the wolf being the most common where the venom literally eats away tissue over time. That small bite after a day could be a golfball chunk or larger of your tissue just gone.

-edit-
It's the brown recluse that has such terrible necrotizing venom, you get bit by one of those and you should go the the ER pronto. Problem is you won't really realize it was a recluse until your muscle, tissue, tendons are gone.

Oh man! Sorry you had to go through that. I saw a spider on a bush once. When I saw that violin shape I said NOPE and took off in the opposite direction from his ass. I read a children's book that identified venomous spiders and recognized it right away.

It was beautiful in a way I can't describe, like the neat looking red hourglass shape on a black widow. I was intrigued at the hourglass shape and violin shape on the most venomous spiders in that book and wondered if there was any significance to them having shapes that are familiar to us.

Almost as if they were made like that on purpose so as to intrigue humans to look into them and study them and easily identify them so the smarter humans would be less likely to get bit because ignorance is bad. I know, far fetched. Maybe. NOPE. <---just kidding. Maybe. NOPE. kidding again ;) rut roh recursion.

That was as close as I came to a biblical burning bush moment. I'm still an atheist. But that's only because God wants me to be. haha try that logic on for size! Well if there is a God, I don't think he wants you to know there is. That's right I said it. So? ;)

That's not god. That's Mother Nature with her tell tale signs of stay the fuck away lest you get dead.

Snakes you can see. A spider in bushes you go sticking your mits into?

NOPE

I leave spiders and snakes live as they are good beneficial creatures. But in my home? They dead. They gone.

What's the difference what you call it? Are you saying Mother Nature intelligently designed spiders to have colorful patterns that humans recognize as other objects we made?

YUP.

Well the colorful patterns attract a mate hence evolution by natural selection.

But the patterns we recognize as objects we made. Sometimes I wonder if the violin shape we made and the hourglass shape was inspired by the spiders or vice versa.

It's both. Nature has it's rules.

One would wise not to fuck with Mother Nature. Where those rules come from is up to you.
