FOUND IN IRAQ------------------------------

We used to deal with scorpions on an almost daily basis when I was a UN peacekeepr in Egypt. Never had a spider problem per say....but it was the same concern.

 

Um... i'm pretty sure most snakes wouldn't hold up against something like that...

 

I'd just have to set up claymores all around me in a tight 360 then.

 

LOL, claymores...? What are those, land mines...? How sensitive are they...? i would assume they have sensitivity adjustors, no...? If so, a spider might not set them off; something else could set them off, like wind or rolling sand or whatever... Some other animal could set them off... How close would these things be to you...? Not terribly close, i would imagine, so you would need a lot... i think, unless set to a super sensitive degree, a spider could walk right over a land mine and not set it off... - DAMN, i hate spiders...!

 

Claymores are set off with a clacker than you squeeze when you want them to go off. Id just stay up all night with NVGs on and scan the peremiter for the spiders. I wouldnt even fight the war I'd just be at war with the spiders. And when I finnaly killed them all I'd steal there oil after I was done.

 

thanks for ruining my next few weeks' sleep. I can't believe that. ohhh, i'm seriously shivering.

 

not a fan of big ass - high jumping spiders either!!!! geeze, at least in the war zone, automatic weapons are easy to come by!!! braap--- braaap-- brap. UZI DOES IT BABY!

 

A bayonet on a Uzi. Your crazy.

 

I'm with Losito. There is no question my M16 would be workin over time.

 

OOOOOHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. My ass wouldn't be able to sleep. Hell it's 4am now and I'm sitting here trying to go to sleep. Damn and I just had to watch the freakin video!

 

Very funny Mr. C. Made me laugh

Picture isnt working for me but I was in Iraq for the war in April of last year and I dont recall any spiders that did this? Norn did I recieve any briefs of said spiders

Although I did pick up a bunch of the republican guard that were all shot to pieces so maybe it was the spiders and not the marines that did it to them?????


Interesting

Hooooleeeee crap. Like DES/NNO and Chaa, spiders, centipedes and scorpions are things I can't handle. Man, 10MPH is blazing!! It's like the facehuggers from Aliens.

While living in Hawaii (in the basement of a Samoan family's house in the middle of a banana patch), I woke up at 3am to find one of these crawling down my forearm... I turned the light on it was skittering down my belly.
