This thread has convinced me that conserving is a horrible thing and allows the offspring of Hell to walk the Earth.
I'm taking my recycle bin to the forest and surrounding it with a ton of tires that I'll set on fire and put out with water from 10000 plastic water bottles that I'll personally dump in the ocean afterwards.
You know, those others are pretty cool looking, even the scorpion, but that spider should have been shot. If I had a gun on me I would shoot that spider. And burn its corpse. Fuck it.
You know, I actually wouldn't be surprised if we found arachnid/insect fossils on Mars.
They're just so different when compared to other animals -- with their exoskeletons and many eyes and limbs. You know that chunk of Mars we found here on Earth that has what some think are signs of bacterial life? That could've landed here billions of years ago, and the supposed bacterial life could have developed alongside Earthlife (mammals, reptiles, and such) to became the horrors we know today. The aliens have been among us this whole time!
I don't seriously believe that but it wouldn't surprise me.
I hate spiders so I won't be checking this thread again. >:[

Pretty sure I played this guy in a side scrolling videogame in the early 90s. another dude with a 'tude ripoffs of sonic. good times, little guy.
Like how everyone is freaking out over the spider and scorpion and ignoring those ants with the fishhooks on their body. Imagine an ant (you know those things that bite and hurt) stuck in you via a fish hook so you can't even pull the damn thing out. Now imagine stepping in a pile of them... oh god
