#1 Oh, please. Tarantulas aren't dangerous unless you're about 6 or younger. Like getting stung by a bee.

Wimps.

#6 In Carlsbad we have tons of spiders, blackwidows and other nasty guys. I've found that if you put them in a plastic container and move them somewhere else, they are still alive! Take no prisoners!

I smash the small ones with a tissue covered hand, I have a cricket bat for the larger ones, and a beretta 96 for the giant ones you see in sci-fi movies. I'm taking no chances.

#7 ...The spiders issued a statement this morning apologizing for any inconvienence they may have caused.
"We are truly, truly sorry," the statement read. "We thought we were in Najaf."

#8 raptor : Don't forget the Brown Recluse Spider. Nasty critter!



The physical reaction to a brown recluse spider bite depends on the amount of venom injected and an individual's sensitivity to it. Some people are unaffected by a bite, whereas others experience immediate or delayed effects as the venom kills the tissues (necrosis) at the site of the bite. Many brown recluse bites cause just a little red mark that heals without event. The vast majority of brown recluse bites heal without severe scarring

#9 Some nifty brown recluse bites pictured here. Don't bother looking if you have a weak stomach--some of these are ugly, open wounds!
