NOPE: spider so tough it eats SNAKES for breakfast - Polidicks

[release] If you suffer from arachnophobia, you might want to steer clear of applying for a job with this South African company. For the spiders here are so tough they wolf down snakes for breakfast. An office receptionist was met with this horrifying sight when she arrived for work.

Astonishingly the snake was off the ground and tangled in the web. And the spider was making short work of tucking in to possibly its biggest meal ever. Witnesses say the spider spend two days weaving a web around its kill lifting it higher off the ground and continually snacking on it. At one point the spider reacted aggressively to a fly that accidentally landed on the web, chasing it away from its kill.

Still, you wouldn't want to be bitten by one if it can do this to a 14cm long Aurora house snake, even if it is harmless. Leon said he's heard of only one other similar occasion where a snake fell prey to a spider. The following day Leon took charge of the spider, which is actually quite rare in South Africa. These pictures, which were taken in 2004, now serve as an educational aid. The brown button spiders live for about two years, and was fed on a slightly less exotic menu - bugs and moths.

KILL IT WITH FIRE WHY HASN'T ANYBODY KILLED IT WITH FIRE YET I just realized: what the fuck will the spider do with the bones? Cut them off and leave them on the floor? Leave them up as decoration? Make spider weapons to wage war on humanity?

Spiders will never cease to give me the jitters like a little kid. That's amazing though.

I actually heard of a spider the size of a dinner plate, no kidding, saw it on some Animal Planet documentary, cant remember what it was called, about several scientests exploring some area that was never explored before, complete with waterfall with very-tough-to-get-to spot. They encountered such huge spider while at camp. Shit gives me the creeps.

Oh my
