I don't mind spiders, I just don't like when they surprise me. Since I pretty much only run into them in my bed (I sleep in the basement) i'll be half asleep and feel some skittering on my arm or face or something, that makes me jump lol.

Oh god. The spiders shown in this aren't something you'd want to see daily.

spiders are both awesome and fearful, and thats why they're so discussed.

my question is: does this really need to be on the politics section? seems more like something you would find in the tavern.

It's a real picture, it's just two of them stuck together.

It was about the news on such a discovery. and to expand on the topic we can talk about other things besides spiders.


I am turning this into a thread to discuss interesting fossils, or animals that are linked to fossils into todays world.
