Spider eats a bird...!

Re: Spider eats a bird...!

Like many of you I wonder why I clicked on this thread, having the phobia of spiders that I do. I have never watched the movie Arachnaphobia (sp?), refuse to watch it. But I think reading this thread, knowing I'm not the only one, may help me with my fear although I did not enjoy looking at that picture.

My fear started when I was probably in the 5th grade. Went to my grandma's house. While there she poured me a soft drink in a glass with ice cubes in it. I drank out of the glass, probably drank about 1/4 th of the glass (you know what's coming) when I noticed something moving about halfway down in the glass amongst the ice cubes.

Closer examination revealed it was a spider, quarter size, struggling to get to the top of the glass. I can't even imagine what I would have done if I would have drank that spider into my mouth, crawling around inside my mouth, biting my tongue and the like.

Showed it to my grandma and she from then on turned the glasses upside down while in the cabinent.

I have yet to watch the movie "Arachnophobia" and probably never will.

You know what's funny? I have an immense case of Arachnophobia yet every time that movie is on I have to watch it. It's weird yet funny at the same time.

******* you Steve. Don't you know that the spoiler tag always gets me. I can never resist clicking the spoiler tag. You could've said, "BEWARE, horribly visually scarring pictures that will kill you" and if you hid it in a spoiler tag, I would've clicked anyway.

I agree....I sent an angry e-mail to Steve. I'm guessing the lack of sleep I will now get will cost me many hours of productivity

Re: Spider eats a bird...!

I killed some of the biggest spiders I have ever seen a couple years ago. We got some old film movies from my wife's grandparents and I think they most have been in the box, because they were huge and I have never seen spiders like that before in our neighborhood. They lived in the mountains and it must have been from them. I killed them with a shoe. One actually got on me and I freak out a little. I think I even scream like a girl.
