Poll: Freaky New Spider in the Room

[interspark]

so imagine, you're sitting at home, minding your own business, when suddenly you notice, on the wall there is a spider like none you've ever seen, it's bright blue, has long, spindly legs and is the size of a football. do you-

A- KILL THE SUNNOVABITCH!!!
B- get the hell out of there via the nearest door/window/newly created hole in the nearest wall
C- catch it! fame and fortune here i come!

i used to be an arachnaphobic and i think i still am on some level, i think this is the kind of experience that will have me soiling myself and running, in fact i don't even think i'd hesitate to jump out of or even through the window if it were nearest, at least then i'll leave people laughing if i bounce off it and get bitten and killed

 

[cryogeist]

kill the fucker!
if it's bright blue it's most likely poisonous
crush it with a damn pillow! then throw it out...

 

[SckizoBoy]

Catch it and pin it!

And by pin it, I mean drive a pin through the top of its abdomen, splay its legs out and frame it in a glass case for all to behold.

Enjoy!

Size of a football? Get the motherfuck out. Hell with killing it, it's probably one of those jumping spiders, too. Catching it, only if you've got a really large solid steal box next to you. Otherwise, it might eat its way out.

My choice, get out. fast as friggin possible.

 

[Tartarga]

Big as football? You run, run as if you are Sonic the Hedgehog on steroids. Also find a new place to live because that place is no longer safe if something like that was able to get in.

 

[Dogstile]

Size of a football? Fucking hell, looks like I need to go grab my trenchcoat and shoes, i'm catching that bastard and making it my pet.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Wait, its bright coloured, and its huge? Oh burn that fucker down. First off, if he's bright and colourful like that, he's poisonous, and thats just his way of saying I dont get a shit if you see me *****, come at me bro. Second, he's huge!

And, if he goes by the average females are three times as big as the male, and is truly the male, i dont want ot meet his mate.

 

[noble cookie]

See the fucker on the wall, proceed down to the basement, grab a shotgun, march up the fucking stairs, kick open fucking door...

...said arachnid has dissapeared.

D:

Edit: Shotgun wasn't enough, tell my family I love them.

And then call the cops/military and tell them to bomb your house. Lie and say someone just dropped a vial of anthrax or something if you have to, just get them to blow it up!

OT: I'd bail. Size of a football!? I think they made a movie like that, and let me tell you, shit hit the fan.

I'd run, screaming in terror, and close the door. Then I'd call my parents, an exterminator and the cops/ambulance, the exterminators because they could probably catch it as well as see if there are any more, the cops because if they can't catch it, we'll need the guns to kill it before it kills us, and the ambulance to try and treat anyone who gets bitten (and maybe extract some venom to make an antidote).

wow... I´m not arachnophobic, nor particularly wussy with the creepycrawlies, but that would freak me out. A spider of that size can be a considerable danger, and since I have no idea what it can do, i.e. how far it can leap, I would try to leg it and call the firebrigade. Where I live they handle creatures that are dangerous for humans, but to rare or endangered to kill.

I would really hate to see it killed, it sounds like a beautifull creature. Just maybe not right beside me ;-)

 

[Vozati]

Football-sized? I'd run like hell. Only safe way to catch that thing is if it was a pokemon and you had a spare master ball lying around.

 

[LobsterFeng]

It probably spits acid or something, I'm not getting anywhere near that thing. I'll call the swat team or the FBI or something.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Kill it with Hydrochloric Acid! Lots of Hydrochloric Acid!!!

 

[cryogeist]

You are you to kill a giant spider the size of a football with a pillow?

I would actually pay to see that. I would most likely be using either my Katana or a sledge hammer.

some pillows are bigger than footballs.
example.body pillows

 

[The Serpent]

I think I'd pull a James Bond and go completley berserk:

 

[Gaiseric]

Use my pistol on it 'cause I don't want to get close to a football-sized spider.

 

[faspxina]

Fight it with a bluer and basketball size spider.

 

[interspark]

It probably spits acid or something, I'm not getting anywhere near that thing. I'll call the swat team or the FBI or something.

and fires laser beams from its eyes! your avatar is awesome by the way XD

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I'd kill it with one of those bug sprays with the 20 foot stream. Then sell it to the highest paying lab.
