Ah! Not Spiders!

Y'know I am now not envious of you at all slownewsday, not with these around. They are (on average) 6 inches in size, plus they can run and jump.

They don't exist in most of Iraq. Only the deep western desert.

I could write a book about how much western media bullshits you about this place.

I got all clenchy when the article (in the National Geographic) said they are native to the americas too, but that's because of my paralyzing fear of spiders. Heck I get all clenchy when I think about the time Sara told me that the room I had been in had about 300 spiders in cages ready to be shipped back to SoCal. Damn things give me the heeby jeeebies.

I did have a guy try to tell me they were as big as small dog and super poisonous to boot today. It was kind of fun to sift through all the crap and figure out what they really were. Thank goodness for the National Geographic. I like my large insects/arachnids like l like my two clearly insane people (not a couple of lounge singers) at a safe distance of at least 20 yards.

Well, 10 ft maybe or behind glass.
