Thats just FREAKY!

ZOMFG HOLY FUCKING SHIT KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Charlotte, no!

Suddenly, I'm okay with not living in Australia.

You know, a friend of mine just got back from working in Hawaii, and she said the place is crawling with scary mongooses. Paradise lost...

Box Jellyfish

If I came across that thing, I think I would scream like a little girl, tuck my tail between my Virginia and pass out.

*is scared shotless of spiders*

Yeah, seriously. No wonder they have to give everyone health care.

If you ask me, they're wasting their money on that. Might was well bow to the inevitable

I wanted to find a pic of that giant spider from "Gilligan's Island" but my Google-fu is not strong. *needs a montage!*



I for one welcome our new arachnid overlords, and remind them that, as an engineer, I could be valuable to them in taking over humanity's technology for their own purposes...

EDIT- I used to feed a couple spiders in my parents' garage. I'd catch a fly in my hand, then stun it on the floor, pull a wing off, then drop it in the spider's web. The spider was about the size of a quarter, legs included. He'd shoot out of his hidey hole and go to town on the fly, who would slowly stop struggling and get wrapped up, or sometimes dragged back behind the windowsill to endure horrors unspeakable.

Yes, and as a Blu-ray Quality Control Technician/Aspiring Writer I can...uh, that is to say...you know I've got this...damnit, they're gonna eat me, aren't they?

*starts The Resistance ®*

*looks for Marc Singer*

Wasn't he the guy that used to host Double Dare?

What is the giant gray thing floating above the bird and behind the spider?
Also is it me, or are there two spiders?


EDIT: ok the big gray thing is the Spider's butt?

Dude, don't make me subtract another 5 nerd points.


The article says it is a Golden Orb Weaver, so I think so.

I know, I know... Marc Sommers hosted Double Dare.

But you'll have to excuse me, i'm not up on my television actors of 1983... I'll take the Klaus Janson hit, but not this one...

OK - it makes sense now.

Oh, hell, I had to google to double check that. Keep your nerd point.

*wanna have one as pet*


*seriously*

for those wanting a bigger pic

I think it's funny that nobody realizes Marc Summers is still on TV (he hosts "Unwrapped," a program on Food Network).

You wish. First you'll be injected with venom and paralyzed, then your internal organs will be liquified as you are wrapped in spider's silk, and over the course of, oh, a couple days maybe, your runny innards will be sucked out and your empty husk discarded. You'll die somewhere in the process.

You may want to take your own life before that happens. Here, you'll want to have this with you:

I think I've heard of that show. I always watch the end credits before Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.

What is the hammer bit from? I can't remember.



Ugghhh...irritating, over-the-top, too-cool-for-skool TV personality FTL.

Sounds like someone needs a tazin' from the Sheriff of Flavortown.

I realized he was still on TV, I just didn't care as I think he is a tremendous douchebag.

quite literally

Srsly

Guy Fieri is a tool

Okay, though I do like the format of a show that's devoted to traveling across America visiting local restaurants.

Yep.
There's no way in farg I'm leaving the UK, "But you should go abroad! It's fun!" be damned.

"Team America: World Police". I say this without the slightest hyperbole: it is the single greatest artistic creation humanity has ever and will ever achieve. Funk yeah!

And yes, Marc Summers resembles the above hammer in his toolishness. Every time I see him on TV (my wife watches those shows) I want to punch him in the face.

jeebus

no thx

*clicks OP's link*

WTFSONUVbatch!

....no thank you. *scratches Australia off the list*

I do, my wife and I watch the food network more than we need to (because of her).

*I still want to do the challenge course*
**maybe if they bring back Family Double Dare**
***GAWD I can't believe I just said that***

oh yeah I believe MS has OCD too.

I for one want one as a pet, Golden webs capable of being used o catch fish. Oh and the fact that the females of that species look like..

Man, learn something new every day don't you? Although, Australia has been known to contain crazy-ass shot.

Can't believe I forgot that. Because I totally agree with the bolded part.

You're all a bunch of wusses. I mean, Golden Orb Weavers aren't even scary, what with the funnel web spiders, red back spiders, mouse spiders, barking spiders, taipans, tiger snakes, eastern brown snakes, king brown snakes, fierce snakes, death adders, red-bellied black snakes, 4-5m long salt water crocodiles, box jelly fish, and high shark attack rate.


Hell, even the platypus has a venomous spur that can knock you out from the shear pain that it causes.

You don't even want to know the kind of damage a pissed off and scared koala or kangaroo can do to you.

Come to Australia, where everything can kill you.

I have been waiting all day for you to post.

Crom! Actually, Conan has fought several giant spiders like that one in the picture.

Thought it was Coyotes/The Locals that were the dangerous ones..

No wonder my mom told me that Texas reminded her of home.

Oh, come on now. Everyone knows that the the only things that can kill you in Texas are rattlesnakes and shotty drivers.

And fried, Tex-Mex cuisine

Tex-Mex =/= fried

I was trying to work both of them in at once.

My beef chimichanga would like to disagree with you.

I don't need any of your disgusting euphemisms.

I also don't want to know that it can talk

So, what I'm getting from you is that you don't want to hear about the delicious sour cream sauce that comes with it...
