xoxoxoBruce Tuesday Jan 15 10:15 PMJanuary 16, 2008: Giant Spider
At 5th and Morrill, in Reno Nevada, there's what appears to be a giant spider on the roof. shiver I hate when that happens.
Thankfully, from ground level it's not a spider, but a beetle... VW Beetle.
Lot's of predators in Reno, but this one is benign.
Cloud Tuesday Jan 15 10:41 PMit's not a spider, it's a bug! I would never, ever, have opened this thread if it weren't for the cheatsheet rollover thingy which assured me that, indeed, it was NOT an actual giant spider. Thank goodness!
Sperlock Tuesday Jan 15 10:57 PMYeah, that's just a couple of blocks away from where I work.
glatt Wednesday Jan 16 09:24 AMHey Cloud, here's a nice picture from the WTF thread.
Nikolai Wednesday Jan 16 09:41 AMHicks: What was that bump?
Johnnie: Oh shit, man, we just ran over a car. We just squashed a car!
Hicks: What kind of car?
Johnnie: A Volkswagen. A fucking beetle!
Hicks: Oh, no. We squashed a beetle.
To quote Buffalo Soldiers
Cloud Wednesday Jan 16 10:16 AMglatt, you think I'm dumb enough to fall for that, huh?

irishqueen Wednesday Jan 16 12:51 PMThere's a fellow here in Indiana who has one of those hanging from the trees in his yard. Pretty funny when you all of sudden come upon it.

Don't give into temptation, Cloud... stay away.

Sorry. I thought it was obvious it was going to be a link to a big nasty spider after Cloud's comment. I mean, come on. What else would it be?

Join the party queeny... and bring me a beer, eh.
Sundae Monday Jan 21 11:43 AMStrange World of Coincidences - I was telling someone in therapy today about the clock/ spider picture and made myself shiver all over again. She's scared of the small spiders we get in the UK so I think that one would make her froth at the mouth. Which would be funny to watch.
Drax Monday Jan 21 02:11 PMWe're doing spider pics?
Ok, I got two: A fat one, and a spider for mom...awww.
shina Monday Jan 21 02:31 PMThe VW Bug is cute. The clock....disgusting! I am not a spider fan, especially when they get that big.
