Awe, look at the little fella.
I screamed.
No, really, I screamed.
I must make many other people watch this video.
You are evil. I like you. 
Edited to add: And that other thread wondered why people don’t want to go to Australia?
I know! I saw it and said out loud “and that’s why I’m never going to Australia”.
I’ve not stopped itching and swatting at my own head since I watched it.
I *like *all creatures chitinous and hexapodal. When I see a bug in the house, I gently take it outside while reassuring it in a soothing tone. I keep trying to raise the caterpillars I find in the garden. I’ve been trying to train myself not to be afraid of spiders.
When I saw the spider fall on that guy’s head, I shrieked. Guh.
Well, I sort of suspected it was going to fall on his head, or jump on his head, so I was prepared. I love spiders, and that was a beautiful one.
Yes, it’s true: we made up the drop-bear to distract the tourists from the terrifying drop-spider.
I am familiar with the words in the thread title individually, but together they just don’t make any sense.
(That beast aimed right for his head! Gahhhhhhhh! Reminds me of the scene from the beginning of “Arachnophobia.”)
So it cocooned the humans for later consumption, right?
If a spider is big enough for a saddle then have the decency to keep a flamethrower at the ready.
Am I the only one who heard Monty Python and the Holy Grail in the background… “Run away, run away”.
I’m really scared to death of spiders, but I have to admit that the spider in that video was really a pretty one.
Does that mean I’m slowly getting past my fear? Sort of?
No. I’ll bet not.
We have spiders that big in Florida. I’ve had two in my home–one in the shower, which I was getting ready to step into until I saw it. My dad vacuumed the spider up, but he left one of its hairy legs behind. So disgusting.
We called them “housekeepers” because they ate bugs and so forth, but I just googled and saw they are also called huntsman spiders, the same as in the video.
My flesh jumped right off my bones and is now curled into a fetal position in the corner, whimpering.
Holy hell, man, freaking Shelob is on your ceiling and you’re going to try to catch her in Tupperware?? Are you trying to keep the evil fresh?
Great :eek:
Adds Florida to THE LIST
AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!
I refuse to watch the video. I don’t want to make my roommates think there was a serial killer hidden in my closet.
Rubbermaid voids their warranty if you catch spiders, not so with Tupperware.
That poor little camera girl is probably traumatized for life. Careful daddy indeed.
What did she say at the end? ‘I told you not a flaming spider’?
I thought the thread was going to be about this video:
Spiders on Drugs (not scary)
Imagine if Peter Parker had been bitten by that spider instead.
After the camera fell and they both ran away, screaming, I expected to see the spider walk by. Sort of like Blair Witch Project.
