Wow there are lots and lots of spiders around the world. I don't think I am afraid of those but just ignore them or startle them to go outside of my house...

[Celethiel]

You know what they're just the right mix of adorable and abomination, I want one.

[Drew Espinosa]

 

No!!! Do not mix cute kitties with spider eyes!

[echophase]

Think about it, the cuteness of kittens but with the ability to climb walls and dangle eerily from the ceiling when you least expect it.

Nope.   Not with those eyes. Just no!

I just saw an amazing .gif on reddit of spiders bursting out of a woman's forehead that made me think of this thread ... Kind of wish I didn't see it now.

[Zombie]

is confused why this is a news story

 

the guy was behaving perfectly reasonably

 

 

...wasn't he?

[Valkyrie]

This story reminds me of two things:  1.  When Ned Flanders on the Simpsons killed his wife's plant and they all thought he killed his wife because he screams like a woman, and 2.  When I was a small child and my mom literally tore my room apart in an absolute panic because there was a millipede in there.  The next door neighbor heard the commotion and came over to see what was wrong.  At least he didn't call the cops...lol  I'm still terrified of millipedes.  *shudder*

      Funny story !

Sees Sly's response and prepares to send her the spider farm. It says that you too can raise 500 spiders in almost no time. Christmas gift?

From Australia:

__________________________________________

21/11/2015 Wollstonecraft 2.00am. Police received numerous calls in relation to a violent domestic, with reports of a woman screaming hysterically, a man yelling “I’m going to kill you, your dead! Die Die!!”, with the sounds of furniture being tossed around the unit. Numerous police cars responded to the address and began banging on the door. A man answered the door, out of breath and rather flushed with the following conversation:
Police: “Where’s your wife”
Male: “umm I don’t have one”
Police: “Where your girlfriend”
Male: “umm I don’t have one”
Police: “We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?”
Male: “I don’t know what you’re talking about I live alone”
Police: “Come on mate people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit”

At this point the male became very sheepish.

Police: “come on mate, what have you done to her.”
Male: “it was a spider”
Police “Sorry??”
Male: “It was a spider, a really big one!!
Police :”what about the women screaming?”
Male: “Yeah sorry that was me, I really really hate spiders”
As it turns out the male was chasing a rather large spider around the unit with a can or mortein. After a very long pause some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party (apart from the spider) we left.

In defense of this bloke- Australia has some monster spiders that might make any man scream like a girl.

Oh My! I live here in Australia but I'd never heard of this amazing little spider.

Checkout this courtship display - unreal!

Is that spider somehow part of the french resistance too?

Or they see the dead and decide to attack.
