Don't worry, ol' Clint (as in Eastwood) took care of THAT big spider!

 

Ok, out of all the arachnids and insects on this planet, spiders are the ones I most fear. Thanks for catching my lazy error =P

 

Dammit, I wanted to click on the thread above! ABOVE!!!!!!!

 

I've got a huge yellow/black "banana" spider (as i call them) webbed between my mailbox and the tree.

He doesn't hurt anyone so i don't bother him.

I read somewhere that the human swallows up to 8 spiders a year during sleep...

 

I saw that on Discovery.

[B]Hey! That is a brown recluse spider, and it will lay a bigtime hurting on you if it bites you. Do a web search,

 

I don't understand what the big deal is. I heard about the recluse and black widow spiders. I've never really been afraid of spiders, but get me around wild snakes, and I'm running like a cute little girl about to get kissed by a fat kid, hollerin' and screaming the whole way.

The funny part is, I was fishing with my 5 year old niece at a lake. I saw a snake and freaked out, she went to try to catch it.

God I'm a wuss.
