Fuck I hate spiders, actually, I hate all insects.
A have no strong feelings either way regarding spiders, but this thread is making me a wee bit nervous.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;26491202]Or genetically engineer something like, say, cows to produce massive quantities of silk instead of milk. You know, like they're already trying to do with goats.[/QUOTE] Wait... wha? Link plox?
I remember reading that a strand of spider web the thickness of a pencil could stop a jet in midair, and it's just the attachments that break when you walk into them.
This thread is making me itchy.

[quote="Anonymous Confession"]Hey Hezzy. I have a fetish that I keep completely secret from absolutely everyone. I like spiders. I don't know how to describe it but I really love the idea of them with their slender wriggling legs and shiny eyes. This isn't the part that I'm really confessing, I did something that I have to admit was a bit fucked. I was out for a walk in the woods a few months back and was feeling really horny and relaxed. I had an empty water bottle handy so I began gathering all the spiders I could and storing them in the bottle till the bottom of it was a black mess of moving legs and bodies. Then I found a nice clearing with a little hill of grass and lay down with my head resting on my backpack. I pulled down my jeans and opened up the bottle, dumping the spiders all over my crotch. I didn't masturbate, but the movement felt great. I've been thinking about doing it again but I know that if I get caught I'd be treated like a psycho for doing it, nobody understands it but me.[/quote] We know who it is now.
You're not supposed to tell people ;-;
[QUOTE=OddLawnGnome;26495308]Wait... wha? Link plox?[/QUOTE] I read that in an inventions/science/technology book from 2004. Genetically modifying goats to produce the kind of silk spiders do. Google it if you're interested.
Baby spider on my kitchen table :3 [IMG]http://imgur.com/GCMa1.jpg[/IMG] And this is awesome. No more pool band-aids stuck on your foot that make you freak the fuck out!
I wanted to make a witty comment, then I got to freaked out by the hairy ceiling.

Burn every last little fucker.

[QUOTE=darkzero226;26491613]this entire thread reminds me of this. [img_thumb]http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n411/musicalmystery/eight_legged_freaks.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Fun fact: The movie was going to be called (and is still called that in Europe) "Arac Attack". But they decided against it because it sounds so similar to Iraq Attack.
I think spiders are fascinating.
[QUOTE=superdinoman;26494313]Those arent spiders. Those be [B]Opiliones.[/B][/QUOTE] On top of that, they are more related to scorpions than to real spiders :v:
