wow a bug not found in Australia 
Yeah, well I figured the internet had enough women perpetuating bullshit stereotypes about females by posing with their tits half out or posting sexually suggestive pictures of their tongues.

The internet does! But Prince.Org does not!! :p . Yes it saddens me that what u say about spiders and arachnids generally is true, the American government would be run by an 8-legged , double mandibled, exoskeletal version of George Bush jr by now if it werent for them!! . The cunts! "...because no-one gets there alone." - "...I like the floor. It's the only thing that seems real." | |

Hey, I was watching an episode of QI yesterday and Stephen Fry asked what's the most deadly thing about spiders in Australia. Everyone assumed it was the venom but apparently nobody has died in Australia from a spider bite since 1981. | |

The most dangerous thing is spiders falling down from the vanity mirror (and coming out from other places in cars) while ppl are driving, making them freak out, causing fatal car accidents!
Never enough, my dear...never enough. | |

Hey! I've bungie-jumped and sky-dived! But I am not going somewhere where I may wake up in the morning, stuck to the ceiling in a silk cucoon, paralysed, when all i can do is watch a some creature 1000x bigger than what im used to sharpen its cutlery!!!

I had a friend what is a redback spider bite survivor. She got treatment quickly enough to survive, but she has some strange nerve trouble now with her neck and arm and is on pain medication most of the time
But, yes, I've heard about the spiders falling out from the sunvisor into people's laps
and they are usually this kind:
which aren't venomous to humans
they just LOOK alarming | |

Don't tell sextonseven this, but the week after he left our place, I found a redback in the bathroom where he took his showers and brushed his teeth every day

he is going to faint... shudder first then faint
I told him how in all my years in this house, I'd not seen a redback since the one time we were whippersnipping along the fence at the front which was in 1998. | |

Alright now.... this is getting really creepy. I say something about the roaches being in league with the synogue of satan and they go and do something they have NEVER done before.
I am trying to eliminate their chances of survival and just after i said that, i get up to go do something and I go to slip on my shoes and there are THREE ROACHES in my shoes!
They have NEVER done that before. What the fuck do they want with my shoes today? Could I have spilt some oil or something on one of my shoes? They love oil... the filthy bastards.
I swear these roaches are demonic. I have sprayed all sorts of shit inside and out and put down granules, sealed the floor (most of it... not done).... They are EVIL!

That is fucked up. Same thing tonight with me. I make a thread and they suddenly start falling down from the ceiling. | |

They know we're talking about them.
I think some bugs are way too interested in what people are doing and that's why they come inside their houses.
spiders i can deal with as long as it's not one of two kinds, but roaches.... I HATE em!

Spiders freak me out enough as it is (i shuddered when I saw this and the 1 above). Its taken me years to get used to sleeping in the room knowing that theres a harmless house-spider in the room, and to relax and not hunt it down armed with my slipper and a can of deodorant! . But Im too neurotic about tiny things that can actually kill me, I'd never sleep. :S "...because no-one gets there alone." - "...I like the floor. It's the only thing that seems real." | |
