    Weird.

    I thought the title of this thread said Soldiers not Spiders. I was wondering when I had posted in it.

    On Topic: Fuck spiders.

    Of course the best giant centipede video is where one catches a bat out of mid-air.


    Unfortunately the video has apparently been removed.

    The, uh, video named "Giant Centipede Eviscerates Mouse" is accurately named. A spider will suck your fluids out, but these centipede bastards will fucking gut you.

    I have a bad habit of finding bees with my feet.

    I stepped on 3 in one week last summer. Why I didn't start wearing shoes after the first, who knows?

    Those centipedes are freakin' sweet.

    I think I like the fact that they can hold stuff with their front 10 or so legs and just walk around with it without any effort. It just looks cool.

    Man, I wouldn't say I'm scared of spiders, it's more that they fucking disgust me.

    When I saw Return Of The King for the first time in the theatre, and Shelob showed up, I'm not even kidding, I puked into my popcorn bucket.

    Because FUCK spiders.

    dude, what is that? too small to be a fire extinguisher...

    Its a can of compressed air, you know, like the kind you use to clean a computer. Except you hold it sideways or upsidedown (it takes finesse) and it shoots supercold liquid. I want to say its liquid CO2 but, well, I don't know science so thats probably wrong.

    Fuck centipedes. When I grew up I lived in Florida, home of every nasty bug and creature, so it seemed. I had 3 tall stacks of game mags on the floor, next to my bed. Somehow they got knocked over and spread a couple of layers deep over a big part of the floor. Being a kid, I left them like that for a week. One night as I was drifting off to sleep I heard the sound of something running across the magazines. I turned on the light and it was a 10" long centipede. Cockroaches grossed me out but I could deal with them. The centipede... I lost it, I freaked the fuck out on it. Grabbed it with a paper towel, blindly flung it into the toilet and flushed a hundred times. All those.. those legs. I can practically feel them running up my arm, no. Just no.

    They are disgusting, hairy, crawly abominations of nature that ooze bile and filth from their every pore and would like nothing more than to paralyze you and suck out your juices while you're still alive.

    I, I just don't get it... I'd rather have a couple of spiders in my room than truckloads of disgusting flies, mosquitoes, moths and other disease carrying, food destroying and generally unhealthy bugs.
    Also, wasps and bees are completely awesome, and only scary if you're allergic.

    I am allergic to bees and yet they don't intimidate me at all.

    I have punched a bee.

    I know that the spiders I see aren't even venomous, but get them the fuck away while I run.

    There is at this very moment a huge goddamn spider somewhere in the bathroom, or possibly elsewhere if it decided to move on.

    About 2 weeks ago my wife and I were staying with her in-laws who live in Kansas. They live out in the country and are surrounded by thick trees for the most part.

    The second day we were there I was taking a shower, minding my own business. When I just happened to move a bit and look down at the shower floor. Initially I thought I saw a large ball of hair....but no. What I really found was the biggest fucking spider I had ever seen. And even worse..the damn thing was RIGHT UNDER MY FOOT! The bastard had crawled under there after I started my shower and I just didn't notice.

    Needless to say, I pretty much shrieked like a little girl.

    Spiders freak me out, but I've never been bitten by one. I've slept in the same room as a huntsman spider unknowingly (woke up to see it on the wall) and screamed like a girl, but for all my fear I've never been bitten. Bees, wasps, lizards (heheh JESUS FUCK LET GO UAARGHH) and centipedes, but never spiders.

    Man jumping spiders are like the most harmless spiders out there, plus most of them are only a little bigger than this capital O.


    Little centipedes though. When I was a kid I once had a little centipede crawl into my shirt and even though it was small it still tried to eat me.


    It's a terrible way to wake up.

    House centipedes get the silver medal for scariest looking harmless thing ever, just losing out to tailless whip scorpion.

    I used to be afraid of house centipedes, the little buggers ranged from an inch to around 5 inches and always ran around on the ceiling, just being creepy with all those legs. Eventually I got tired of killing them, and just let them have free nocturnal reign over my basements ceiling. They also liked living in my showers drain, so every now and then when I stepped into the shower naked and turned it on, a few seconds later a big old centipede would come crawling between my feet. At some point I just stopped caring, and just started taking my showers while they huddled in the corner. Silly little buggers.

    Giant centipedes are scary as hell looking, but almost entirely harmless to humans. In fact, most insects that are traditionally phobia-inducing in humans are fairly harmless to humans. BUT, the 1% that are dangerous to humans spoil it for every other insect.

    Thus, the black widow has made us afraid of just about every spider. Kinda sad, really.

    Now, that being said, if I saw a giant centipede, I'd run like a little girl, arms in the air and everything.

    i was laying in bed with a lady a couple weeks ago, and we just woke up.

    so my eyes are full of sleep and im not fully awake yet, but i notice something black falling from the ceiling. as it got closer i saw it was a spider lowering itself on its web, and it was coming for our faces.

    so i just told her not to move and it landed right beside her head, i then just picked it up and tossed it across my room and went back to sleep.

    Then you woke up later to find your lady friend wrapped in spider silk?
