In the merry, merry month of May! When along came a spider...

See, that's why I stick to treadmills. On the other hand: no mosquitoes! Yay!

Aren't you glad Camel Spiders only live in the middle east?

I'm going to have nightmares, now!!! I'm already an arachnophobe. Well, at least with the camel spider, you don't have to worry about accidently swallowing it in your sleep.

But, they are known for eating ears and noses in your sleep. They numb their victims, and eat them unknowningly. They're ugly little suckers.

Luckily, the Iraq war myths about camel spiders are just that.

Here's the Snopes article on it.

It is true that they like shade, and so will appear to chase you while trying to stay within your shadow. They are also found in all the world's deserts except Australia.

Ahh...so you mean there is only one record of a camel spider bite that you can find using google. How resourceful of you.


By the way, how does this thread have 60,000 views?

Now I feel obligated to explain that Snopes.com is a site that debunks urban myths.

And here are the dictionary definitions of debunk and urban myth.

Wow.. Little hostility? Interesting that you are so quick to call other people names. I am sure there is NOTHING in this world that you may not know a lot about and i'm sure that makes you "stupid" right? That infectious bite although it may be a brown recluse bite, doesn't scream "Hey I am a Brown recluse bite!" it just appears like a terrible infection that could have been caused by any bite, cut, tear or other infection. You know the person thats in the picture? Ok, fine, I feel bad that he had to experience that, But I don't feel you have any right to call everyone here stupid because one person postied the pic.

As someone else said... "Ripping you off"? no one is trying to sell anything. What harm does it cause if someone thought that? Someone was wrong on the internet?! OMG!!!!

Dave, Where is that comic that you post sometimes?!?! LOL

Hope everyone is having a good day!

arguing on the internet is like competing in the special Olympics, even if you win you are still retarded.
