    Nah, the eating spiders thing is just a highly persistent legend. Spiders don't actually like people enough to crawl inside your mouth while you sleep.

    I mean, don't get me wrong, you do eat pounds of insects and spiders every year. But that's just as a result of eating processed food.

    "For example, if a jar of grape jelly contains400 grams and 2 insect parts are found in 1 gram, then the whole jar should contain about 800 insect parts"

    Yuuummm...

    Not that I care really, I ate a tomato bug for $10 in highschool.

    I read an article recently that compared amount of protein yield and resource investment in livestock versus insect farming.

    Bugs are going to eat you. I consider it preemptive revenge to eat them first. Especially in the form of peanut butter.

    I'm glad we don't have Botfly in Australia, I hope we don't at least. We we're pretty good at being isolated for quite some time.

    Oh dear god yes I've seen that before.

    That reminds me of a story one of our high school teachers told us once... about some woman who woke up one day with a rather saw eye. She just kinda ignored it cause it would come and go, but eventually a few days later, she got a lump under her eyelid, and it became rather large and sore. So apparently she squeezed this lump, and dozens of tiny little spiders burst out from under her eyelid D:

    Pfft, like Australia has a police force.

    Seriously 4 of our states have police with semi automatic pistols, this came up in the news because an officer got shot while 'possibly' reloading his gun in my state, they use really old 6 shooters, can't remember exactly what but they are now listed as antique firearms and we still use them, we don't really need semis so much because not many people apart from the police force have guns, but some people do.

    Anyway, I think the average is something like 7/10 shots fired at a target 5 or so meters away is the hit ratio of a trainer officer with those weapons, I may be wrong, I probably am but I do remember the statistic being brought up at one point and it was low, so that being a train officer, and since we don't have all that many shooting ranges here, if someone has a pistol, run. It will make a difference.

    If you can't hit a man sized target 10/10 times from 15 feet away.

    Well, people with Parkinson's shouldn't be operating firearms.

    You would think a nation fathered by convicts would be able to shoot better.

    We were all sent here due to stealing pocket watches and loaves of bread. This does not require the use of firearms, people who used fire arms were probably hanged.

    And seriously the accuracy thing is a lot to do with the gun, that was the point I was trying to make in my addled state, it is a piece of shit that doesn't shoot straight. I'll find it one sec. I don't know if I'm just rambling though.

    The quality of the pistol does have a big role to do with the accuracy of a pistol. If a trained shooter shoots a production model Glock and a custom Wilson the Wilson is going to give you a tighter group.

    I am serious spiders are the best in the world

    there's a reason we aren't all dying from poisonous shit

    that's right mother fuckin spiders save the day

    no they are the worst in the world

    the reason we are not dying from poison is because we single handedly invented the rolled-up newspaper to show mobile nightmare units who's scaring who

    aiding and abetting a spider should be a criminal offence
