Poll: Freaky New Spider in the Room

[droid]

I would name him Fred. Fred or George, both are good names for spiders. I would let him stick around for a while, let him eat any hand-size mosquitoes he could find.

You know that scene in the matrix where they summon the rows and rows of guns in the training area. I would use every single one of those and destroy the spider and probably the wall it was sitting on. I would then burn down the house with Napalm to make sure any other spiders of that species died. Then I would move, to the bottom of the ocean.

Not an arachnophobe but any insect or arachnid more than twice the size of what I am used to seeing dies.

You know there are some species of spiders that live at deep-sea levels, right? They're pretty fuckin scary-looking too

.......

*twitch*

well then....

TO SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

yeeeah, i'm going to need to see some pictures of that please

 

[T8B95]

Football sized and bright blue? With my arachnaphobia? Get as far the fuck away as humanesly possible, then burn down the house.

It's only funny because you think I'm joking. I'm not fucking kidding, I will destroy the son of a *****. And then apologize to my housemates for burning down the house.

I have still never learned how to embed video, hide spoilers, or basically use any forum technique effectively besides just plain words haha. So, I request that you do an image search on Google for 'sea spiders.' Scarier than any spider on land in my opinion... Of course the spider's walking speed is probably reduced to slow motion when you're on the sea-floor. At first, it sounds like it'd be less scary, but the more you think about it.... A spider walking towards you ever so slowly (especially while your speed is reduced also) sounds a hell of a lot worse than any spider experience I can think of on land. Until of course spiders learn to fly... 8( hahaha

 

[Vuavu]

Damn! I keep looking at pictures and they're even worse looking than camel spiders! :/

Get ahold of yourself, soldier! We have no idea what's out there. It could be worse!

 

[Biosophilogical]

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.

Was the movie eight-legged freaks by any chance? I would love to show that movie to an arachnophobic person >

Yes it was I used to be afraid of spiders, but you don't last long in Australia being afraid of your neighbours. But I think I'd be appropriately terrified if the "Eight-Legged Freaks" trap door spiders were real (or the ones that kill pets, or kidnap people as gifts).

 

[Neonbob]

If I see something like that, there would be a good thirty seconds of swearing as I ran to get the largest blunt object we own(a soil-tamping stick), and then a good deal of property damage as I proceeded to smash the thing into little pieces.
Fuck your scientific research. Something like that doesn't get to live around me.

 

[42 is the question]

if I don't know what species it is, I would capture it and photographe it, then give it to some scientists to see if the spiders venom contains the cure for cancer. If I recgnize the species then it's option A.

I know! Hasn't s/he seen Starship Troopers!?

 

[Total LOLige]

run away, killing it is too risky, I'd torch my house because it's going to hide I can never go back.

Lol, I will admit though that those spiders would be awesome in a closed exhibit in real life. VERY WELL CLOSED exhibit mind you, but maybe that is because I am as far from an arachnophobe as you are likely to find unless I know that it is highly venomous.

What self-respecting Aussie wouldn't love that? Just imagine the shows! Like where the zoo trainers play with the crocodiles, except with an element of the Jurassic Park raptor feeding.

 

[xxmyhero64xx]

Football size you say? Unless I have a gun under my pillow or on my nightstand I am getting the fuck out of there. I already have a problem with quarter sized spiders infiltrating my window, there is no way in hell I will deal with something that.

 

[wolas3214]

Bright. Fucking. Blue? Thats natures way of saying , Fuck all i mgith haswell sercre acid from my fangs! And considerign some spiders eat birds anda re alreadys mall i probably look like a ripe fuckin' apple. I would run!!! lielly leaving a unashamed trail of urine behind me. Then id macguyver up some somrt of fang proof armor and pin it under my nearby hamper. place some wood over the top and weigh it down with my freeweights. Then i'd sell it for a shit ton of money.


Thats my fantasy scenario.

What would REALLY happen was me running screaming like a girl and shooting it dead.

Although what if their SMALL AS HELL eggs got through some air vents 0.o It would be a tad worse than the cane toad I imagine, Spiders lay hundreds of eggs, they can fly and they would likely be highly venomous... Still awesome XD

 

[Nudu]

I escort the noble aracnid back out into the wilds. I'm not that freaked out by spiders. I even had one of those big-ass hairy things in my hand when I was like 10.

Now, if a slug were the find it's way into my room, I'd probably vomit and then bail town, leaving all my tainted belongings behind. Does the fear of (or rather total diguist at the sight of) slugs have a name?
