You know, if spiders ever come to the realization that people are terrified of them we’re all screwed.
Why is it they always jump TOWARD you rather than away from you? Sick little bastards!
It is now proven that our deadliest spider does not jump, it simply runs and lunges at you. One variety however can live 90 feet up in trees and drop on you.
For those of you worried about attack from females of the funnel web their venom does not kill.

Well why do they always lunge at you?
I don't have this fear at all. Though I do worry it's some kind of mental deficiency on my part and I'll probably spend my last days trapped in gluey silk being drunk to death. I don't mean the fun type of being drunk, I mean being drunk as in what happens to tasty drinks!
Oh..... don't even go there with that theory!!!!!
I never grew up with a fear of spiders. Since then I had a spider CHASE ME (well, run in my direction, but still)! I respect them more now.
Most are harmless and shouldn’t induce fear in us, but there are some in tropical climes which are deadly. Maybe they have already cottoned on!
I believe True for a lot of critters....try not to blab about it so much, okay?
If all spider's were turn on us they'd be able devour us all in less than a year. Scientifically correct, Google it...
Those wee fuckers terrify me. One reason I don't bike early in the morn; that, and I'm a lazy, late-rising bastard.
Wellllll..........i'm kinda skeptical of ya here, buddy......
@AnneWimsey I've got quirks, don't mind me.
im so pissed, that i have to agree with your logic
