First thing I thought of when I read the word 'spider':

Well, if Australia ever wants to take over the world, I'm sure they'll have no problem. Fucking unleash their god damn animals on us. I'm just going to stay in Canada, where the only thing I have to worry about is bears, wolves, lynx and the occasional moose crossing the road (the moose will fuck you up). Also the winter, but only when it drops to around -50 degrees. Thank you long underwear 
Also... what the fuck is a drop bear?? Is it as scary as it sounds?

I read that the platypus sting is one of the most painful stings on the planet. Did you friend talk about the pain much?the clockmaker said:
Anyone saying Australia isn't that bad is telling lies.
When I was younger I was pulling apart a dead XBOX controller, as I cracked open the casing a damn White Tail Spider jumped out of the controller at me. Horrible creatures, their bite will rot the flesh.
My dad once had a dog, it got torn to shreds by a koala.
When driving avoid wombats, they will put a big dent in the front of your car and probably totter away with a headache.

yeeeeaaah... im on OP with this one.. danish hunter spiders is big enough for me.. any bigger ... hell no!
Wow, I live in Cairns (where this footage was taken, therefor where this spider is). Guess I ain't sleeping tonight. Golden Orbs are nothing to be afraid of really, it's more the Black Widdows, Funnel Web and the Red/White Back spiders you have to watch out for. They are the killers. Now to go to bed while holding a can of insect killer... and a brick.
Meh, even outside of Australia, the spider in the OP isn't all that remarkable.
They have a small spur on their hind limbs. The male's version of it can deliver a dose of venom. Its strong enough to kill a small animal, but is not likely to permanently harm a person. Although the venom does cause enough pain to incapacitate.renegade7 said:
lmao, drop bears.
Jeff Hanneman from Slayer got a flesh-eating disease, I think it was called Necrotizing Fasciitis, from a spider in Australia, so I'm not too eager to go down under anytime soon.

Know what's scarier than all of that? The prisoners who were dumped there and left for dead? Lived.Final First said:

Yeah, I dunno if I trust what Aussies say about their homeland. I might visit for a week or two, but I'd never be able to live there. First time I saw a huntsman sitting on my wall? I'd need new pants. And god forbid I ever woke up with one sitting on my face like some other Escapambilidandoes have said happened to them.
Oh holy shit, Australian friends. As an American concerned with the problems of my country, I propose we throw our problems together.That's right, we lock corrupt politicians and reality show stars in a room and we can make them fight your natural dangers to the fucking death.
