Ok, I’ve been doing really well with my fear of spiders lately. But I had a coworker send me this link and I had to share it. Sorry if it’s old news, but this is the first I’ve seen of it. WARNING: GIANT SPIDER PICTURE IN ARTICLE [http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24540399-5009760,00.html](http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24540399-5009760,00.html) Now, I would just like to hear some opinions about how big that thing actually is, cause it looks like it could eat a cat without a problem. Anyone have any guesstimates? ---

Thanks, can someone report this one so a mod can close it for me?
