The spider looks sad. What did you do to it? Were pink ribbons involved?

You just don't even realise how adorable that spider is with pink ribbons! I name her Sally.

Ugh, so happy I've never encountered a wolf spider. I might seriously be arachnophobic.

My mother cured her fear of spiders by forcing herself to watch "Arachnaphobia" She wound up feeling sorry for the killer spider at the end.

See, that movie doesn't do a whole lot for me. Just seemed really cheesy.

I was never scared of spiders until I saw Arachnophobia at the age of eight. I don't think I realized at the time that it was a comedy.

That stands a good chance of reversing the effect right there.

The scariest spiders by far are the Northern Australian funnel webs
I watch a lot of nature TV, and over the years that has taught me that: A) Australia is a continent completely under Satan's dominion. B) If I ever had to go there I wouldn't go without an environmentally sealed armored exoskeleton.

Some of the troops found a tarantula when I was stationed down in Panama. The two guys were keeping it in a cage and feeding it insects, it was a kinda docile blue-ish/blond-ish-fuzzywuzzy slow thing. He did eat up the crickets, would jump on them and suck them up. The two troops who had him, went to the library to see what else they eat, and found the some eat mice. Well they caught a mouse, and the mouse ate the tarantula. Go figure...

An old sergeant major of mine would tell us stories about his unit in Panama bivouacking in a banana grove and occassionally feeling banana spiders crawl over them in the middle of the night. Fuck that, I'll take actually being shot at to being part of a spider freeway. Worst I ever saw were camel spiders, and unlike that one picture that circulated around the internet at the beginning of the war they're not really that big. Big enough, though.

It wasn't the spiders or the damn howler monkeys (did he mention those crazy monkeys are territoral and will chase humans and throw shit and stuff at them?), it was the damn scorpions and fire ants! Those fuckers were every where. We had one sneak into the clinic and bite my buddy Darrin's foot when he was changed into scrubs and went to change back and didn't shake his boot...needles to say we all stayed on bug patrol for a long time. I got bit up playing paintball on one of the 'zonies' homes. Damn place I picked to go prone was a fire ant home... It was still one of the most beautiful country I have visited, with only a couple of deadly fauna, unlike NZ/A which has all kinds of crap to kill ya, but such a temptation of boobies, bbq, and beaches.

I was under the impression the most dangerous creature in New Zealand were the natives, they also have deadly things?

You know in some situations you get in trouble for shouting that. Also I love NZ's team naming system as it resulted in the awesomest badminton team ever: The Black cocks.

Ever since a Brown Recluse took a chunk of flesh out of me I show no quarter to spiders. Period. It has also turned me into one hell of an arachnaphobe.

I can see that happening after a recluse bite. Can't fault you for that one.

Let's just say I didn't know what packing a wound was until later. I thought it was anything but sticking gauze into a hole in my flesh with an oversized q-tip. I was wrong. Edit: And I forgot to mention that the little SOB also shot staph straight into my veins. For about 6 months after the bite I'd get weird staph infections. Like the one under my armpit where I had to tell my boss I was under doctor's orders to avoid deodorant. In the summer. Needless to say I was banished to my office and not allowed to do face-to-face work with our users. (I'm in IT)

I hated it because I am a very clean person and I found it quite embarassing to be that rank. Luckily it lasted only a week or so but it was still horrible. My own gf (she's my wife now so she must be forgiving) wouldn't let me hug her. Even the family dog gave me that look that only a dog can give. "I eat shit but damn...you stink."
