US Spider Bites

RE: US Spider Bites
Get back to me when a funnel web has tried to chase you or you've woken up with a weta crawling through your hair.

I spelt Vinegaroon wrong.

Here, here's a picture.
Warning.
Nasty.
Scary.
Naturally un-natural!




Whats a Weta? And is it true all the dangerous scary spiders are on the East side of Australia??
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Not only no, HELL NO. This is the kind of thing where human ingenuity comes into play to avoid physical harm. [where tf is that nodding emoji]? Huh

In Italy we have Loxosceles rufescens, a tiny little cute critter notorious for being the most venomous spider of the mediterranean basin. Years ago a L.rufescens bit a guy on his forearm and his entire arm (up to the shoulder) began to swell and hurt as hell. The area whitin a 5 cm radius around the bite necrotized and became black and hard. The doctors pulled lots of pus out of this thing and when it fell apart there was a hole in his arm almost the size of an orange. He didn't have a kidney failure just because the bite was on his right arm.
I'm not afraid of spiders, but (because of this piece of sh&t) i never EVER touch them. And it's unusual, given that i usuale like to touch and take with bare hands every kind of animal. Wasps and hornets included.

Funny fact about Italy and spiders: the name of the typical italian tarantella folk dance comes from the Italian word for tarantula, because this dance developed from the severe seizures occurring after a Wolf spider bite (Lycosa tarantula, Lycosidae).
"I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice."

Charles Robert Darwin, Letter to Asa Gray (22 may 1860)

John Darnielle, lead singer of Mountain Goats and up-and-coming novelist, recently asked Congress to help spiders destroy the human race.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

So Congress is adding to their coalition.

Fuck funnel webs, widows, and recluse spiders.  THIS is the coolest spider (sp) imaginable:

RE: US Spider Bites
Let me tell you about my life changing spider event.

Wen I was twelve, I was at school and resting my hand on a tree stump watching the others.
I felt something, turned to see what it was and this big spider had just slowly and casually started walking over my hand.

I couldn't move through fear of being bitten. In my dazed and confused state, I had all the time in the world to analyse the big fucker properly. It had coloured rings around its legs and was quite hairy. It took like over a minute to get from one side of my hand to the other. I literally couldn't move I was so traumatised.

Now when I see one my body convulses like I'm having a seizure/orgasm. The wife becomes my terminator! I love her so much!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
