The_Gabe Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I've never liked that phrase, and there's always the obvious exceptions like rape/murder/slavery/terrorism. Yes, because people aren't telling you you shouldn't eat too much cake, they're telling you to go out and rape a few women, as long as you don't rape too many women. Since when do we have to say everything literally? What happened to figuratively speaking? Are we supposed to change that sentence to "Everything is better in moderation, except for things like rape, murder and slavery, which are always bad." Yeah really. I've never seen anyone go at that phrase like that. I'm pretty sure everyone knows and would get what that phrase means... Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarg1010 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Bugs/insects annoy me. And in some cases, scare me. Makes me glad I don't live in Australia or Africa honestly... even though I have no idea where these bugs are located. (Australia is my best bet... everything tries to kill you there.)

Kirschen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 What if said insect did this? It looks to be Brown Recluse considering the color of the spider displayed. and how damaging its bites are.

Kirschen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well thanks to that picture I'm just going to stay locked up in my basement forever with a flamethrower, thanks. Then it'd be best to avoid Australia and Brazil because of the Sydney Funnel Web and Wandering Spider respectively, the latter actually rated to have the world's most potent venom for a spider. At least most spiders you encounter are non-venomous. Of course, they're hideous freaks (maybe that is wording it too strongly) that I wan't to eradicate off the face of my shoe now and admire it later when it is an image on a screen or in a documentary rather than in my room or face.

The house spiders are big for something you'd see in a North American home, the hobo spiders are smaller but have an... unpleasant bite. I also may or may not have developed a minor case of arachnophobia from that research. Does not fit well with a pre-existing fear of bees and wasps. Will avoid visiting Australia.

Arachnophobia is one of those primal fears on par with snakes, and very common too, so I wouldn't blame you if you got it from all that research. Thanks for reminding me of the Hobo spider considering it's one of those diabolical nasty ones that is rarely mentioned. The only reason I said the spider pictured above was a Brown Recluse was because that's the only venomous spider I know with that color and can do that kind of harm. Might have even forgot what a hobo spider even looks like now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that they have up to 12 limbs, depending on how you count them and which you choose to count. :) Scorpions are indeed arachnids aswell, and they have quite a lot in common with spiders.
