Well, um, they started it?
Which makes us even more badass for not just surviving, but thriving there.
Hey, don’t look at me. A spider crawling across the floor of my home inevitably results in the following from my spouse:
“Kill it. Kill it! Kill it quick! KILL IT! KILL IT NOW! NO, DON’T PICK IT UP WITH YOUR HANDS! I DON’T CARE WHAT KIND OF SPIDER IT IS! FINE, TAKE IT OUTSIDE! NO, DON’T BRING IT OVER HERE!!!”
see, THIS is the kind of stuff i’ve grown to expect and appreciate from BB. weird and wonderful…
“suddenly standing babies” is just not really in the same realm.
Wow, you guys are all wimps.
Down round these parts, we call this Tuesday.
You see, someone really is having a worse day than you are.
wait, you pick up spiders with the same hands you use to type in this forum?
#@jlw - CAN WE GET A PERMA-BAN HERE?
And if possible, make sure he doesn’t come within 5 IP addresses of any of the rest of us.
Asking for a ban? Hmmm…
Why take chances?
Scientist says it is entirely possible. Oh really ? Apparently it is since they are there and there are authentic photos. Wonder if the scientist even bothered to get up and go there to see. A prime example of scientists’ attitude.
Are you saying this is all a hoax?
You’ve just quoted everyone in my house except for me! Yes, I am the designated spider-carrier-to-the-outside…as I remind everyone, spiders eat mosquitoes, so I for one am grateful to them.
However, raining spiders and pastures covered in spider webs elicit the biggest NOPE imaginable. There are some things up with which I will not put.

FWIW, this is a Golden silk orb-weaver spider. They live in large colonies of very messy web.
When you hear scientists talking about strength of spider-silk, this is the one they’re referring to.
I’ve had fishing rods snag and bend, rather than snap the silk.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
No I am not. I just find it funny that a scientist states it being entirely possible. Obviously it must be since it has happened.
Thus the statement sounds rather amusing.

Scientists are aware that sometimes observations are done wrong, and not everything you see is what you think you see.
That’s about it.
