There is no god. Also further proof that Australia is where nature spewed it's most horrible creatures.
It's just a huntsman, you big wuss. They're not even that poisonous.
Poison schmoison. Take a good look at fangs sticking out of of the unholy maw of that demon spawn and you tell me getting gnawed on wouldn't hurt like a motherfucker.

Well, it frankly doesn't - get Kate to pinch you hard with her nails, it's only roughly that bad, though it lasts a little bit longer. And Compared to this psychotic poisonous hell-beast, they're positively cuddly.
Seriously, at least a huntsman will run away, rather than chase you and do it's fucking damnedest to horribly and painfully murder you to death.
No, a friend found it on craigslist. I'm not advocating this as a good plan, there could be untold amounts of BS. Also, upkeep on a SAAB can be $$$.
But it goes to show you, if you have the cash in this economy you can get some killer deals.
Yeah, I aksed if you knew the seller in order to find out if the possible BS could be mitigated. I am not looking to buy out of state from a random craigslist posting. I am actually car hunting this weekend with Adam.

Man, the Funnelweb is a marvel of evolution. Jaws that snap bone, actively necrotic venom, swarm behavior...Nothing prettier than something that has evolved into a perfect killing machine. Also, when they swarm, they tend to fall in pools. Unlike other spiders, who drown almost instantly, the funnelwebs buoy up and can survive for three days in this sort of half-alive state. But the moment you try to remove them, they wake up, and you're already dead. I'd be terrified if I was near them, but man, they're beautiful from afar.
I feel the same way about this little guy. So cute! So unbelievably deadly!
If you want to talk dangerous, one sting from this tiny, almost invisible jellyfish will throw your whole body into absolutely unfathomable pain and suffering for days, if you even survive.
It is also known that because of their large fangs, the victim has to pull the spider from the area of insertion (eg: Finger). They will not detach if you shake that area.
*cries* Stop making me not want to backpack through Australia!
Waddums, I do not want to hurt you, but Churba said that I must... *la sigh*
4 minutes, you're eager.
EDIT: At least the Aussies still have this critter to cheer me up and laugh with me.
Right after I get homesick thanks to all this, I start looking at some obscure australian history, and discover that this was a Finalist to be our national Anthem. Can you imagine us singing this at the olympics - particularly the second verse?

Fellers of Australier, Blokes an' coves an' coots, Shift yer bloody carcases, Move yer bloody boots. Gird yer bloody loins up, Get yer bloody gun, Set the bloody ener-my An' watch the blighters run.
Get a bloody move on, Have some bloody sense. Learn the bloody art of Self de-bloody-fence.
Joy is bloody fleetin', Life is bloody short. Wot's the use uv wastin' it All on bloody sport? Hitch yer bloody tip-dray To a bloody star. Let yer bloody watchword be "Australi-bloody-ar!"
When the bloody bugle Sounds "Ad-bloody-vance" Don't be like a flock o' sheep In a bloody trance Biff the bloody Kaiser Where it don't agree Spifler-bloody-cate him To Eternity.

"I love a sunburnt country,
Of droughts and ARRRRAGH THE FUCK IS THAT OH GOD IT BIT ME"
