- Samsauce, on 08/28/2008, -0/+132Dugg for putting out a mouse trap to kill a spider.
- SteelChicken, on 08/28/2008, -7/+89Heres what our civilization has come to. People are such pussies, they run away from their own home because of a BUG.
Hunt it down and kill it! End of story! - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+84I say they take off, nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
- MrFurious2k, on 08/28/2008, -1/+66I hate spiders. I have a contract with them though. If they're outside, they're free to do their *****. They come in the house and they've signed their death warrant.
- stikkitjim, on 08/28/2008, -0/+56Dugg for mental image after this line:
"They identified the spider using the internet," she said.
Google spiders? - DreKor, on 08/28/2008, -1/+54Big scary bug? Yes. Killed your dog? No. Still, I wouldn't want them in my house.

"She had to be put down."

*rimshot* - jason4188, on 08/28/2008, -1/+45I did a tour in Iraq these spiders are everywhere over there, so are scorpions. We used to catch both the small clear scorpions and the big black emperor scorpions and make them do battle in a large bucket with a camel spiders. The camel spiders never lost, they are very quick and have large pulsating fangs, you can actually hear them hiss as well which is very ***** trippy sounding when you hear it.
- BXRWXR, on 08/28/2008, -0/+43And kill it with FIRE!
You're god damned right end of story! - artificialgrey, on 08/28/2008, -5/+46Hope you picked up some douche at the store as well, so you could wash your pussy after you disposed of the bug. "...perched on the light in the bathroom ready to attack me." - C'mon dude
- quakeIII, on 08/28/2008, -1/+38AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ***** ***** ***** ***** NOOOO!!!!!!!!! HELP!! GET THIS ***** OFF ME! ......oh?

- brickbat, on 08/28/2008, -0/+25Yet another reason to stay the ***** out of the middle east.
- ckrickett, on 08/28/2008, -0/+21Just bring Bear Grylls over there, pretty sure he ate one before. Maybe he can avenge the dog's death
- kernel16, on 08/28/2008, -0/+20Damn I thought afghans had a special elite force called Spiders...

- ChayD, on 08/28/2008, -1/+16I agree, no insect or arachnid is immune to a rolled-up newspaper.
- IanLacy, on 08/28/2008, -1/+15I can just see this camel spider sitting at my desk, looking up arachnid porn.
- BaoUnit, on 08/28/2008, -13/+28I dugg you up just to digg you down twice. Seriously man, the dude just got back from Afghanistan and you're giving him *****? Come on....
- CharlesMay, on 08/28/2008, -0/+14umm.. nesagwa was referring to the six legs of the palmetto bug.
- kublerross, on 08/28/2008, -1/+14mr spider? meet mr shoe.
the guys is a paratrooper. you jump out of planes, but cant stomp an arachnid? - MaxMWood, on 08/28/2008, -3/+16HOLY ***** *****. THATS A SPIDER?
- Probatus, on 08/28/2008, -0/+13Considering the family lives in a house, not an aquarium I would suspect the spider is worse.
- kelmaster1, on 08/28/2008, -0/+13camel spider grows up to 5in long and RUNS at 10mph (that's a quick jogging speed).
- DragoonWraith, on 08/28/2008, -0/+13@ MaxMWood: Technically, no, no it is not.
- koldmilk, on 08/28/2008, -0/+11there in the army they should have a few extra guns, arm the children and get a cat!
- Mr.Gone, on 08/28/2008, -3/+14You, sir, are a vagina.

I'd expect this from the french, but the brits? - bencho, on 08/28/2008, -0/+10Mothra...
- ncc74656m, on 08/28/2008, -1/+11Eww, omg, hate spiders. I'd say buy a ton of bug bombs and lite 'em off. At best, it kills everything. At worst, you get to recreate the Mythbusters episode.
- cyrix, on 08/28/2008, -1/+10http://www.instantrimshot.com/
Pay it forward. - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9The second a mother ***** spider hisses at me I am getting the god damn shotgun.
- ProjectGSX, on 08/28/2008, -2/+11Urban legends
Solifugae are the subject of many urban legends and exaggerations about their size, speed, behavior, appetite, and lethality. They are not especially large, the biggest having a leg span of perhaps 12 centimeters (5 in). They are fast on land compared to other invertebrates, the fastest can run perhaps 16 kilometers per hour (10 mph), nearly half as fast as the fastest human sprinter. Members of this order of Arachnida apparently have no venom, with the possible exception of one species in India (see below) and do not spin webs. - peterfnet, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9"She had to be put down....... the vet could not say why the dog died"
face-palm - granolajoe, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9Here's proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXbwi1XFPXo
"Even with its venomous tail, the scorpion doesn't stand a chance" - joe8mofo, on 08/28/2008, -1/+10It is not a spider and it is not venomous. These people are ignorant to leave their home because of a creature that is not a threat to anyone. Their dog died of some other cause, how is this even news?
- matthewaaron, on 08/28/2008, -2/+10Sigh... when will people learn to fact check before writing news articles?
- whiteguysamurai, on 08/28/2008, -1/+9What a wimp, just use one of those heavy army boots and kill it.
I think she is just using this as an excuse. - flamingduck, on 08/28/2008, -1/+9that thing can run at 10 MPH?????
aye Carumba!!! Bring out the BFG! -
