DAMMIT JOHN!
All's I did was open the article and had to shut it back down. Is that pic real!?!
You have KNOW idea how scared I am of spiders...that's the most hideous thing I've ever seen in my life. Now I have to go back and read this thread so I can try to figure out what the story is because I am NOT opening that link again.
From now give a "IF YOU ARE SCARED OF SPIDERS OPEN WITH CAUTION" warning! LOL!

I'll go eat my Wheaties and see if I can get up the guts.

It's creepy that most of these stories that he talks about took part not too far from where I am (in some cases TOO CLOSE!)

Ok, I'm going to relive one of my lifes worst nightmares for you guys enjoyments now, so enjoy.
When I was young I went to an Animal Sanctuary, a place with really cool animals we don't normally see here in the UK (there was a snake there that I wanted to adopt, it was HUGE but #ing cool.).
Over in one of the corners there was one of the animal handlers with a bunch of families so I went over to check out what was going on.
I asked what they were all talking about and the guy looked at me and grinned, then he said "I tell you what, out-stretch your hands together and close your eyes and don't open them until I tell you to". Being young and still very ignorant I did.
A few seconds passed and then he told me to open my eyes. As I did I saw the most horrifying sight that will live with me for the rest of my life, A GIANT #ING TARANTULA SITTING IN MY HANDS!!! I swear to God I nearly puked right there, or had a heart attack. # my body wanted to do something I wasn't sure of, but it wasn't good.
I didn't know what to do. My gut reactions told me to drop it but I was too frozen with fear (too much so to scream). The guy must have realised this and screamed "Don't drop it or it'll kill you", of course being young I believed him.
After what seemed like forever he removed it from my hands and everyone there at a good laugh at my expense.
I swear if I ever meet that bastard again I'll kill him.
