I find it fascinating really.

EDIT:
Also, google suggests it's a Golden Huntsman spider.

ooh that's nice to know.

The real question is, how did she get the spider to stay under her tongue and then just crawl out like that?

Also, how did the little guy not get soaked or suffocate?

[timferius]

Little may be an understatement.
A few things I noticed. 1, it seems to be on top of the tongue, not under. Also, notice it crawls out sideways, I assume this is to help guide it's exit.
As to the suffocation, well, she probably didn't have it in there too long, and it's fairly easy to clear your mouth of most saliva for a bit.

Meh, as long as it's not a cockroach it's allright.

You just reminded me that there is a world record for the most live cockroaches eaten in a minute. That belongs in this thread, I believe, in the absence of a Things That Made You Disconcerted thread.

I kind of like hissing cockroaches. I just don't like living with cockroaches running around.

I also love rats. Used to have a bunch, but they sometimes get respiratory infections and that is such an awful way to go out. I couldn't handle it anymore. It's like having dogs that die every 2 or 3 years.

Yeah. I have a mouse that I think I've managed to catch OCD scratching (he got bored when I was in the middle of finals) in time on, but the little guy's probably only got about six months left anyway. It's sad.

Unrelated: I have now linked the girl in you spider avatar to you. Congrats, smeep, you are now a caucasian young adult woman. Forever!

Everybody is brave until the cockroach start flying, that's the moment you distinguish men dwarves from wusses.

[timferius]

I have thing about erratically flying beetles... (JUNE BUGGGSSS!!!! *shakes fist*). So ya, I'm a wus. So what? I have never met a cockroach, but the day I do, you can bet I'll be back with a flame-thrower.

[smeeprocket]

Still not as disgusting.
I bet the chinese eat them.

[GiglameshDespair]

If I go to China, I want to try the scorpions on sticks I've seen. I wonder what they taste like...? Crunchy, probably.

[Graknorke]

Like scorpion, I'm guessing.
