Ergh. I usually kill the spiders in my house, but those guys are above the killable bug size threshold.

There's a certain point in size past which spiders and other critters stop being "bugs" in my mind and start being "animals". I couldn't stomp one of them any more than I could stomp a hamster to death. (Which is not at all.)

[MaximumZero]

Fuck. That. No. Absolutely not. I'll stay here, where the spiders are less than coin sized.

Mm... hm. You don't have banana spiders up where you're at?

Not unless they come in boxes, in which case everyone shrieks and throws things at it.

[Frumple]

Lucky you, then. Pretty sure I've seen banana spiders roughly 1.5-2x the size of the one in that photo. They can get pretty sizable.

They're also pretty docile, but... sizable. Not something pleasing to walk around a tree and get a face full of.

Not something I've done, but I've seen it happen. You'd think screeching heretofore unknown vulgarities into the air wouldn't be the best game plan when there's a fuckoff huge spider crawling around your face, but, well. Thinking tends to cut off at that point, apparently.

[Arcvasti]

We don't have many spiders where I live. Mainly because spiders aren't stupid.

[BlackFlyme]

I dunno, what's a more apt word to describe dying because you can't respire enough?

Asphyxiate? Synonym to suffocate though.

Obviously they are very intellegent giant magma spiders because they have spaceships. 

They suffocate when they open the hatch to their spaceships to bring their message of peace and ask permission to eat all of our household cockroaches and termites.  Because War of the Worlds taught us that aliens don't understand basic bio-containment procedures.

But how would you land a spaceship massive enough to haul around a race of skyscraper sized spiders?

With Deathstars duh! They're not charging the planet destroying beam, they are just sending their first contact package.

I've seen banana spiders before.  They actually look pretty cool.  And yer right, they are very docile.  They'll just sit there chilling in their webs all like. 

"Hey bro, have any bugs?  No? Ok then, I'll just sit here in my massive beautiful work of art web.  Don't worry about missing it, I'll try to always be in the middle of my web, and I'm too large and colorful to miss and walk into accidentally.  I'll see if any of those pesky wasps fly this way.  Have a good night!   Oh come inside? Nah I couldn't I'm perfectly comfortable out here.  In fact it's a little scary to me in there. I'll be fine."

I love it when people do the dialogue of these situations.

And to be appropriate: I thought of a hippo when writing down hippocampus in my med quiz. :v
Go past me. Sleep deprived me.

I get a little curious, and look through the sites, only to find articles about how all other religions should set their followers on fire, and if they die they should leave their religion and join Islam. So much for an unbiased view on religion! After being a bit weirded out, I check this guy out after he responded to a comment...he isn't in the school's students directory anywhere. Strange >_<

[Mr Space Cat]

Religious spambot? Religious spambot.

Religious spambot? Religious spambot.

I am now going to form a religion that worships Spambots.

We'll start with the lower gods, the KitchenBots.

Why are the Hutu and Tutsi on that? They're ethnic groups, not religions.

The same reason Arab is on it.

I'd hazard a guess at 'ignorance'.
