Some soldier found this thing waiting for him in his sleeping bag.<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://itcantendlikethis.com/images/SPIDERS.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Camel spiders are one of the fastest running arthropods. Although they have four pairs of legs, they run using only three pairs. The first pair of legs or pedipalpi are held up in front of them and used in a similar manner to the antennae of insects. They have very long, silky setae and are constantly moving in order to locate and pick-up prey. Despite their fearsome appearance and their strong bite, solifugids are unlikely to harm humans. In the past they were considered venomous and extremely dangerous but it is now thought that the only risk of injury resulting from them is caused by shock or infection following a bite. There is no evidence of venom in any part of their body.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.dickwad.net/ot/SlayerSig2.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

Still, they look like a face-hugger from "Alien." <p></p><i></i>

You guys do realize that those spiders are about three inches in front of the camera right? <p></p><i></i>

I was just going to say that...they're trying to pass them off as being the length of a man's leg, but check out how close they are to the camera! <p></p><i></i>

Maybe not as big as the mans leg, but look all the way to the right of the picture frame. You can see the palm of the hand of the man holding the pliers that are holding the spider. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.dickwad.net/ot/SlayerSig2.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

Holy @#%$ @#%$. I was hoping you weren't referring to a spider when you put "arachnid" in your topic title, but it seems I was very wrong. I'd really appreciate it if you put a warning in your title next time because I'm stupid and thought you might be referring to a joke or a car or something. -.-; I hate spiders. x.X;; Actually, I have a fear of them. >.< Er... Yeah... n.n <p></p><i></i>

OK... Maybe they're not venomous but the do take a hole out of you, eat a bit of you and then lay there eggs and let their young feed from you... My cousin's told me all about them, he's in Iraq now. <p><hr><br><center>blank</center></p><i></i>

This is all starting to sound a bit like the Iraqi version of the jackalope.<br><br>GR-chan, I'm sorry that you suffer from arachnaphobia, but that's why I gave it such a title. You see, I'm of the scientific nature. If I had meant it to be a joke I would have put a smilie face in the title. If it was car related, I would have put it in my garage. Not that any one would ever see it there. At the most, some spame link from here to there. Sorry if I scared you. Don't be skurred. It's just a picture. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.dickwad.net/ot/SlayerSig2.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

Apparently all kinds of rumors have been started about these spiders. My news station actually did a story on them asking a scientist who specializes in arachnids about them. Aparently they only get up to five inches big with their legs spread, they eat smaller bugs and they don't really harm humans. <p></p><i></i>

Smaller bugs? I heard that they numbed a bit of a camel's skin then made a small whole (which it would eat some of the camel out of) and ley it's eggs. It's said that the people who look after the camels in Iraq usually get "attacked" by them. That theory would explain the name. <p><hr><br><center>blank</center></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>and their bite can sting or produce numbness, but is not lethal.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> I ras right about the numbness part. And why would they numb you if they weren't going to eat that part of you?<br><br>I'm sure they do eat something from the camels.... <p><hr><br><center>blank</center></p><i></i>
