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...

Pet peeves aren't always rational.

Spiders.

 

 

More specifically Spiders who makes webs on the side mirror of a car door, hide in the back of the mirror and even when you shove a hose into it and wipe it all clean, he comes back and spins a web on your mirror all over again just to troll you.

You my good sir, should never get a motor cycle. Apparently spiders, along with other insects like wasps, just love motor cycles. Read the first entry of this article for a good laugh.

After reading halfway in the spider bit, it was enough for me to not want to ride a motorcycle. Once it got into the wasps, there is no way I am sleeping tonight. Thank you for another tacking another sleepless night as a result of the internet with that link, Randox. :sad:

Humph. I hold that as one of their best articles ever (right after my favorite, which also starts with a spider). I laughed pretty much the whole way through that one when I re-read it tonight (been a while). I also hold you slightly responsible for seeing an entry named spiders and not turning back if they bother you :razz:

 

You should not read my favorite article (though I feel like you already have), or that one about insects that I can't remember the name of.

 

In recompense, I offer you a link to this, about zombie survival tactics that will get you killed. No spiders, but there is a great picture of an angry squirrel with the best caption ever (in context). This article shall be my bedtime story tonight.

 

 

And I hate how long clothes take to dry.

I never said I disliked the article (in fact, I can agree with you on how good it was). It was the bit with the wasps what disturbed me the most since I was stung by them often when I was a little child, which sort of justifies how I cringed hard at the imagery of going down the interstate and fighting off a horde of those abominations. Have you also read this article by chance? It's one of my top five favorites, even though I cannot get certain zombie fanatics I know to agree their logic about zombies is faulty. As for the article you linked, I've seen it before.

 

Clothing, oh boy. I find it worse how it's always my favorite pieces that get ruined within in the first two washes done on them no matter what. It makes it more concerning how I have ordered a $25 shirt (including ship costs) being shipped to me, so it would be leave me miffed if it gets ruined within the wash.

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.)

It looks to be Brown Recluse considering the color of the spider displayed. and how damaging its bites are. It ranks next to Black Widow on one of the spiders I never want to encounter.

What I've been doing lately is making sure to hang dry all of my shirts that I really like and don't want ruined, especially long-sleeved. Makes them not shrink and last much longer

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.

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.

I recently did a bit of research on spiders and learned that my house may or may not have giant house spiders and/or hobo spiders. 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.

I think the image I posted earlier was a hobo spider. Here's the link to it: Spider Bite Problem.

Oh, and here's the activity in this thread, not including this post.

EDIT - I put some hide tags in because of the nature of the pictures. I should have realised earlier.

Spiders are not insects, but arachnids.

Arachnids have 8 legs, insects have 6 - to mention the most visible difference from the insect class.

I must have confused the categorization because I was thinking 'ants' when I typed 'spiders'.

I always found the former being interesting because the Scorpion is technically in that same animal class as any spider, but I don't think that necessarily make them related to the spider itself (or perhaps I am wrong on that assumption since I am rusty in my knowledge of how biology works). Also, I think the better term would be "limbs" more than simply putting "legs".

On the comments section of news sites where most of the commenters very obviously just read the title of the article before posting their (often very detailed and over-the-top) opinions.

Limbs would be misleading, as arachnids also have a pair of pedipalps and chelicerae that can vary in shape and size. 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.

 

Other visible differences between insects and arachnids; the latter don't have wings nor antennas.
