Normally not one to shy away from a little bug, in this case I would have packed my family up and moved to another state!
 
Not even gonna click the links; I get the gibblies just thinking about it.
Here they come again!
A-gibbly gibbly...
 
Yipe!

My 2 year old had a little spider on his sleeve while playing outside Sunday. He was just sitting there watching it. Then his big sister saw it and went completely ballistic. I had just ducked into the house for a second when this ungodly scream came from the back yard. I thought somebody was killing em or something. Was kinda pissed when I found out it was just a spider.

If it had been that one from the pics, she probably would've dropped out cold!

LMAO...if
that spider was on my son's sleeve I would have dropped out cold too! 😀
 
If I *ever* see legs like that sticking out from behind something on the wall,

First thing I'm doing is removing the door from my microwave,
defeat the safety features,
plug it into a long enough extension cord,
microwave the clock, wall, and whatever is behind it.





Now... those movies about the radiation creating huge genetic monsters... that's just fiction, right??
 
I appreciate a spider who think thinks that it really doesn't matter if it is hidden all that well. Its as if, it left its legs sticking out from behind the clock on purpose, daring something to investigate.
 
BB gun fodder. I wouldn't even care if it put a hole in the wall.

I'm just waiting for those damn cicadas, too.
 
I have a tarantula that is just a bit smaller than the size of an average man's hand if it was spread out. But that's secured in a cage, just for looking at. If I ever saw some monstrosity like that thing behind a clock, I'd get the hell out of the house. But probably after I killed/captured it. It would royally suck to have it scamper away, only to be found under your bedsheets.....shiver......
 
Aww, come on people, spiders and centipedes are our friends.

They eat other insects. They kill all the the bad stuff in the house.

That one probably got a mouse or two.

If that was in my house, I would have taken a baseball bat to the clock, hoping to get the spider at the same time.

<== doesn't like spiders

That's great and all, but neither one would address my greatest concern: how fast is it? If it's slow, it's merely scary, but if it's fast...

Well, it's got 8 independent legs that appear to be several inches long. If I had to guess, I'd say it could cover at least 1ft/second not counting any jumping.
 
<--- Was too afraid to post on the first page of this thread.

Am I far enough away from those pics now so that it won't hurt me?

You must be a pharmacist with a backstock of sleeping pills.

Don't know about all of you, but I'd have wept like a little baby if I saw that in my house and probably just have soaked the entire building in gasoline. Things like that are ungodly.

Yeah. I would be FREAKED OUT. Id probably jump back as fast as I could, hit the floor, my legs would give out, and I would be dead silent, breathing hard.


Then Id bust out the shotgun (provided I had one at the time), and proceed to blow the fvcker up. Id worry about damages afterwards.
