Re: Don't look if you hate spiders
I wonder what would have happened to the old lady who swallowed a bird to eat the spider who she swallowed to eat a fly - if she'd swallowed that spider?

Re: Don't look if you hate spiders
Spiders...smyders!!
Moved into a house down at Queenscliff in Victoria in 2001 (the ocean side of Port Philip Bay, down the Bellarine Peninsula from Geelong), the bed had yet to be assembled when I called it quits on the first night, so I made up the mattress on the floor in the bedroom.
Towards morning as the light was just increasing, I felt something scraping against my lower leg under the doona....interesting....pulled the doona aside and there were two black scorpions...about 4cm each...shiny black. They must have been enjoying the warmth. A fairly galvanising sight.

Re: Don't look if you hate spiders
Currently working in Afghanistan, and the Camel Spiders over here would kick sand in the faces of Aussie Huntsmen.
The scorpions are pretty impressive as well. Big brown buggers, and you can buy them down in the local bazaar. They house them in an old glass fish tank...and...what for? You might well ask....
They smoke them. The scorpion is handled so its sting is injected in between it's own shell and into it's flesh. The scorpion subsequently dies of it's own sting. They are then dried out, and crumbled into hashish and smoked...gives the hashish a psychotropic effect...the smoker starts seeing things...
Don't believe me? Read about it in an excellent book: 'Drugs in Afghanistan' by David McDonald :

Makes you wonder though...who was the first person to find that out?!!!
