I know the danger from getting bitten by that spider.
Still ever since the "west nile virus+ hit the u.s i'm more worry about that these days.
That can kill ya as well.
-
dude, thats freaking nasty. dam spiders!
-
The Flaming Lips wrote a song about this called "The Spiderbite Song", their drummer got bit by one and it nearly killed him it seems...
-
Luckily, this kind of damage is not common and is rarely fatal (but can take months to heal). Fatalities usually stem from infections and lack of medical care.

I f*cking hate spiders. They are my all-time worst fear. I can't explain it. I remember once when I was like 16 or something I was playing video games (TurboGrafx too, if I remember right) at my dad's old house without a shirt on (it was the middle of summer, no AC). I took a bathroom break and I felt a tickle on my back. Since I was in the bathroom, I half-turned in the mirror so I could see my back and there was this huge furry black spider on my back like 1.5-2" in diameter slowly crawling up me. It was a f*cking mini tarantula. I have had arachniphobia my whole life so this wasn't like the catalyst or anything. But I freaked the f*ck out. You would have thought I got hit with 12,000 volts of electricity at that moment. That was the single scariest moment of my entire life.
EDIT: It's images like these that just reinforce my fear.

ouch,we have wolf spiders here and they get in the house and I'm always picking them up in my hand and throwing them back outside. Then one night i was watching animal planet and learned that wolf spiders have the same necrotic venom as brown recluse and other poisonous spiders but rarely bite humans. Now i cant grab them like i use too cause I'm afraid of a bite and just scoop them up in a jar.
-
ouch. that hurts man. in which country or county those spiders live?
-
We have them here in Washington state, along with Black Widows.
-
are there a lot of incidents with those ones? and how many of them ends deadly? what else you have there crawling around? scorpions, snakes, grizzlies, deadly bees or ants?
-

We have f*cking TARANTULAS.... it's fun to take them in a shovel and throw them on the side of the house to paralyze them, and watch them die.

Dude, tarantulas don't hurt anybody -- you can relocate them without the carnage. Yeah, I pull over when I see a spider on my windshield and relocate it to a bush before resuming my drive. I'm a softie, I suppose, but spiders do lots of good stuff (i.e. eating other bugs... like ants!).

Man, I live in Texas, for every one I kill, there's like 40 more. And as far as them not hurting anybody, we've had to put 2 cats down because they got bit by them...

Crap, I didn't know they could hurt small animals. I thought they were harmless. There were never any tarantulas where I lived, so...

They don't really hurt small animals, just small animals that are stupid enough to keep messing with them. None of our other cats have messed with them. They aren't poisonous or anything (the little hairs on the back are sort of poisonous but not enough to kill), the cats just let their bites get infected for some reason.
My mom has a duck that likes to EAT tarantulas, it waddles over to them, tosses them up in the air, catches it in it's bill and chomps it. It's hilarious because you hear this CRUNCH and you see all these little legs fall out. :lol:
-
Large spiders and poisonous critters are cool. We don't have ANYTHING like that here. Every animal is nice and peaceful. :(

WTF? Is it normal for ducks to eat spiders like that? I used to have pet ducks and chickens, but the animal patrol took them away because you can only own pets like that if you live on a farm. I miss those little goofy guys :( .

Ducks and chickens are super awesome. I love them.

Not all cities are like that. I know here in Counciltucky, there's at least one guy who keeps geese and such.
Still sucks that they got taken :(

Holy insanity, a duck eating a fat hairy tarantula is an image I can't get out of my head. I've never seen a duck eat anything bigger than a minnow / tiny beetle.

Are you kidding me? Are you serious? If not, that is possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
Think Office Space-esque Lumberg here...
ANIMAL PATROL: Yeeeaaahh.... We're gonna have to go ahead and confiscate the fowl.
KERANU: :shock:
ANIMAL PATROL: Yeeeaaahh.... You see, they passed a few laws here this week and, well, long story short, the ducks have gotta go.
ANIMAL PATROL'S NAMELESS ASSOCIATE: You don't actually have a farm here, do you?
ANIMAL PATROL: Horses? Cows? Stables?
KERANU: No, but...
ANIMAL PATROL'S NAMELESS ASSOCIATE: That's all we need to know. Thanks!
ANIMAL PATROL: (to NAMELESS ASSOCIATE) Better get the cages and the tranq gun.
ANIMAL PATROL: (to KERANU) I'm gonna need you to go ahead and head back inside the house. This might get a little messy.
KERANU: :shock: ........ :cry:

LOL, to clarify for everyone, yes the duck really eats tarantulas, and we live in a rural area, so we can have pretty much whatever we want.

Yeah I'm dead serious. It was really awesome too because they would just waddle around the yard, sometimes visit another person's yard if they felt like it and everyone really enjoyed their company. Sometimes they would go up to our porch and stand next to our door actually wanting to come in for a minute. I also miss this little parade that would go on where my dog would chase the female duck and the female duck's husband would chase the dog. :mrgreen:
We had them for like one year straight and that whole time the animal patrol didn't say anything so then all of a sudden they told us they had to take them away. They were really rude too because instead of just kindly asking us the pick up the duck and handing it to him, the dude got out his neck strangler thing and caught the duck with it instead. A couple weeks ago the animal patrol came back to catch a neighbor's dog that likes to prawl around and chased it in people's yard with a neck thing and tranq gun, totally unnecessary.

Sounds like the animal patrol in my neighborhood. They sure are dicks :x.

One time, when we still lived in a ghetto-ish neighborhood, we had this stray cat come up to our house. He was cool and everything, we could pet him and stuff, but we couldn't have like over 3 cats (or something like that) so we had to get rid of him. We called the animal control, so the guy comes over (he's one of my mom's friend's friends so we know he'll treat the cat nice) and he grabs the cat. The cat is OK with it, but then the dude tries to put the cat into the little carrier box.
Houston, we have liftoff.
That cat just ZOOMS out, onto the guys chest, over his head and speeds off into the night.
We never saw the poor thing again. :lol:

Years ago, when I was just a wee teen lad living with my dad, there was a chicken that used to hang around our yard. This lasted about a year.
No one knew where it came from but it didn't do much. It hung around the bushes a lot. It wouldn't let you approach it without clucking and running off. It even laid an egg towards the end of it's visit. We're not quite sure how it was impregnated to begin with considering there were no roosters around (that we knew of).
That winter it snowed and got really cold and the chicken just stood out there on one leg and weathered the storm. The next day it was gone and we never saw it again.
The egg never hatched.

What did you eat for dinner the next night?

great story there :D really wonder what happen to the poor and lonely chicken? :cry:

Beautiful little story there. By the way, a chicken doesn't need to be impregnated to lay an egg, does it?
I had two chickens with my three ducks, one black and one brown. We referred to them as Black chick and Brown chick, as we did for our ducks, White Duck and Black Duck.
The black one died early on because a hawk swooped down and ate it. A sick side story to this was one day my dog got out and I went after her and while I was chasing her, I noticed something on the ground - a park of the black chicken's leg left behind from the hawk! I was hoping in my mind that my dog wouldn't go after to chew on it but because of my usual crappy luck, my dog went after it and started eating it! I had to pull out of her mouth and it was so gross. It was really tender and so when I pulled it out of my dog's mouth, the toes actually came apart.
The brown one, on the other hand, lived with us for nearly a year. It was a very friendly little chicken and would follow the ducks around everywhere. My mom really loved this chicken as the chicken was especially kind to her. My dog, unfortunately, couldn't stand the thing and would take every chance she had to chase her. One day, my dog actually caught her and ripped some skin off her neck, but the chicken lived and had a nasty cut. My mom was able to fix it using some kind of rubbing lotion and the chicken was healing up amazingly well and the skin actually looked normal. However more unfortunately, as soon as the chicken was well and good again, my dog managed to get out again and this time and bit the chicken's head off (which we could never find...) :( :( :( . The worst part about this story, and I am telling the truth here, is that as soon as she died, dinner was ready... barbecued chicken. No it wasn't made from Brown Chick, but it was a very unpleasent dinner. My mom was really heartbroken.

Hey nat, chickens lay eggs even though they aren't impregnated, and that's why the egg never hatched.
By the way, the dog took the head? That's very sad. And crazy. I wonder why it didn't take a "better" part than that.
-

I actually never knew that. Guess I need to go back to Kindergarten.
So chickens can pop out eggs at any time, but they are only fertile if the chicken's had a close call with a rooster? Weird. Are all birds like that?
EDIT: So the eggs we buy in stores... Are those fertile eggs, or duds, or a mixture of both? What is the evolutionary advantage of being able to lay eggs that will never hatch?
-
Chickens pop out eggs all the time, yes. Since they're being produced all (or something like that) the time, they can't just store them in there. I believe all birds work the same way, yes. Humans do too, of course, just a bit differently.
The eggs we buy and eat are not fertile of course. Well, some of them are, but it is really rare. Sounds like you haven't encountered it - you should be happy. Never nice to find a fetus in your breakfast egg. :wink:
-
Ya got that right Seldane - finding a fertilized egg will quickly ruin your appetite. :-&

That's worded SO wrong... :lol:
