fuckin camel spiders creep me the hell out

[ScottyB]

any animal that has fangs protruding out of its face is something you just dont mess with. i bet they call it a camel spider because it eats camels

[white_2kgt]

That, right there is why the army gives those guys Fully Automatic guns! Fuck an Iraqi, save the NUKES for dem things.!

uh, that's really gross! I feel like I could have lived my whole life without knowing something like that actually existed in anything but the movies. :|

*edit*
Just showed it to Jess. After what I can only describe as a massive attack of the willies, she went running back out of the room. I think my "can you imagine waking up with one of those on you?" comment may have hindered her sleeping patterns for the rest of her life.

i read that article, and here is when i stopped reading....

"they latch on and inject you with a local anesthesia so you can't feel it feeding on you. They eat flesh, not just suck out your juices like a normal spider."

nice.

[JackoliciousLegs]

I would hope that people would notice them "latching on" good god. It doesn't matter if you cant feel it feeding on you, it shouldnt get a chance to!

ok two questions
1. who decided to classify a radioactive creature the size of a small woodland creature (the nonradioactive variety) as a bug, im sorry but if it is faster than my car, its not a bug.
2. who decides its a good idea to pick up not one but TWO radioactive spiderish type aliens

[Hunter]

Holy ball sack!
