This was a really cool / informative clip.  Amazing what those little spiders can do.

Spiders are (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_giant_spider_web) pretty cool! (http://media.star-telegram.com/Multimedia/News/Photos/Bigweb.jpg)

ICK!  I saw that Namae!  I hate those spiders so much it's not even funny.  Syll, that was a funny clip!  I didn't expect the comedy at the end, I liked it!  ;D

When I bought my house last year, I moved in among the spiders.  I never saw so many spiders in my life.  I despise those critters in so many ways, it's not funny.  I hate walking into their webs, I don't want them in my clothes and it just drives me crazy!

So I called the exterminator, and it seemed to help.  I bought my own spider (bug) spray after I fired the exterminator, because I'm able to do the same thing that they do.  Kill webs, knock off eggs, eradicate.  I watch and learn.

I see them once in awhile, but nothing like I did when I first moved in.  It was an all out battle last year, this time.  So far so good, I think I've only see a total of 8 this season.  Last year, I was at around 30+. /cringes.

I ... just. don't ... like.... creepy.... crawly.... spindly... web-building....things!!!!

UGH!

That's worse than the bottom of the Blackburrow caverns.  That would just... Freak.  Me.  Out.  Ugh.

Spiders make me shriek and cower behind my 8 year old son.

He thinks it's funny.

Spiders make me shriek, run out of the room, and holler for Bahl to COME KILL IT!

Unfortunately, my fourteen year old daughter is equally terrified and she shrieks a whole lot louder than I do. 

Needless to say, Bahl does not stop to argue.

Peace is returned to the household.

Also, about spiders, since I started playing EQ and was faced with giant spiders, I think I've started to look at the spiders this way.

- When I kill them, I get experience.  :mf_swordfight:
- I may even gain a level if I kill enough of them!  :bm3

My thinking has sort of shifted, but I despise them as much as I ever did.
