I approve of this thread. It possesses win in suitable quantities.

 

 

 

Rule 17 my friend: Every win fails eventually

 

 

 

Rule 4,560, page one, word 20- "the".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My epic bug story-

 

 

 

I was having lab for science. We were going to put 6 poisonous silk moth caterpillars, three black widows, and one rattlesnake to sleep and dissect them (we were studying poisonous animals).

 

 

 

Then, some douchebag came in and accidentally broke the cage. The foul serpent was the first one to break out- everyone was cowering on top of the tables, except for me. I was still looking for the scalpel. The two spiders, and the larvae followed- I then heard the screams and shouts of my peers. I took a bunsen burner, and burned the snake- It was an ugly sight. It's organs were popping inside of it, and it's head imploded. I tried burning the black widows- the burner was out of propane. I then called my good friend, Mr. Boot. The two arachnids tried jumping at me, but I swiftly dodged them. I knew that if I get bitten just once, I would be sleeping six feet under. I then swiftly stomped both of those abominations. I then saw all of the poisonous larvae on a table heading towards a student. I then swung a chair at them and crushed those abominations. After cleaning up the mess, I got to leave school early, and bugs now refer to me as "The Terminator". \

ups.. tried to edit a typo and now i made a post...

 

 

 

 

 

mh.. uh... hm.. well.. Never thought this thread could be that controversial. and.. uh.. Yah:

 

 

 

posting in an epic thread!

 

epic thread

 

 

 

Glad that it appeals to you, but:

 

 

 

And the grand embarrassment... People who post on a news item or something they think will become popular, the 4th post on the thread is "posting on an epic thread", and that's the last post it gets before it gets buried and nobody opens the topic ever again :lol:

 

(quoted from this: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=712642&start=20 topic)

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe it's not quiet as drastic, but no thread (i know) on this forum lived terrible long. (Don't want to break the enthusiasm though =P) Then again:

 

 

 

An Epic Battle

 

the thread claims to be epic after all.

Spiders are animals...

 

 

 

I always thought they were insects :oops:

 

 

 

Which are animals. If I'm not mistaken, chances are any living thing you see with the naked eye that isn't rooted into the ground will be an animal.

 

 

 

By the way I liked the story. I doubt your regular spider would lash out or try to run up your arm, generally I think they like to cower in dark corners because the'ye suceptible to be eaten by bigger animals. Just the other day I sprayed one a little and it sped off in the opposite direction.

[andufusthebronze]

Yes you are a hero.

 

But not because you confronted your fears.

 

Because you confronted your fears and let the creature live.

 

I wubs animals.

It's ok, animal is usually synonymous with something more like 'vertebrate' or even 'mammal' in general society. Insects are just seen as insects, but, they're all part of kingdom animalia along with frogs, crabs, bees, sponges (yes, sounds wierd but sponges of all things are classed as animals), starfish, flatworms, termites, blue whales, humans, spiders, fish, penguins, etc, or they can all be classed along with plants, fungi and microscopic protists in the domain eukarya, meaning having eukaryotic or nucleus containing cells. Bit of biology for you.

Thank you. Yah, it was probably more scared then me, if you can even speak of fear for such a primitve animal. It's terribly silly to be scared of them imo. That's what the thread somehow is all about. I am scared of them and imagining a spider crawling up my sleave, well more like hushing up my sleave - they are swift bastards after all - is terrifying. (I still ave to look away when i see a spider in a movie or something. In natura it's worse, but i can at least prepare myself after the initial shock.)In truth it of course acted exactly like you described: It went in the exact opposite direction from where i touched it with the stick.

 

 

 

Chasing it around with the stick was an incredible good thing to do. It was funny, how the spider hushed around the floor "fearing" for its life, while i was scared of getting close. It really was a triumph for me. Not actually catching it, but facing it, instead of just sucking it into the vacuum cleaner.

 

 

 

They are just cute little creatures. Arachnophobia probably (i'm no expert) is just a projection of your fears on them. The spider just does it's thing, it doesn't make a conscious effort to scare me. I however project my own consciousness on it and assume it would make a sneak attack on me or something. At least i slowly project my fear on it, in the way that i assume it is scared of me, wich it most likely isn't capable of. Eventually i'll hopefully realize that it is just a itsy bitsy spider =P

 

 

 

EDIT: The spider probably doesn't even perceive me as animal. It was "scared" of random dangerous motions, like it would try to evade falling rocks, if given the chance.

Watching a bit of Constatine gave me a bit of inspiration for spider torture. Trap it in a glass (if you brave enough) and fill it with smoke (with a match or something)

Ha nice work. It's funny you lot carrying on about spiders, we commonly have huntsmans in our house, they can get up to something like 15cm in diameter in extreme cases, usually around ten. They're not poisonous though, and they're very timid, just leave them alone and they will do the same for you.

 

 

 

My spider story would have to be on a school camp, we were in tents and i needed to go back and get my cup, which was in the tent. I open the fly, and open my bag, and aloh and behold there is a female funnelweb sitting in my cup haha. If anyone didn't know, they're the most poisonous spider in the world, and are only found in Australia. Yeah, i basically ran out of the tent to get a supervisor lol, i was pretty [cabbage] scared, and then he came, picked up the cup and carried it around to show everyone lol, it was rather nuts.

 

 

 

Oh and who ever said crushing spiders, you can drop a house brick on a funnel web and they'll survive, very resiliant animals. They can survive for 2 days underwater without air too.

:ohnoes:

 

 

 

Yet another reason (besides your woeful skills in every sport known to man compared to us Queenslanders :P ) I don't live in Sydney... those pesky funnel webs. Do they ever get into the suburbs or are they just in the surrounding bushlands?

People on tip.it just can't take a joke unless it has a BIG 'sarcasm' or 'don't take it too seriously' tag under it :lol:

I did... believe me... took me a lot of guts to get through that part and tranquilizers to calm me afterwards.

I'm seriously scared of travelling to exotic countries, because they might have some nasty speciem there.

 

So much for any dreams of Australia...
