What IS THAT????

from JoeUser Forums

*note* I know that this is not "Internet" related, but I wanted it to cross post with WC....that, and I'm too lazy to post on both sites.

I've been at Stardock for a billion years.  With that, I have been able to score a windowed office.  This particular office overlooks the pond at the back of the building.

I have seen some weird things out there, like groundhogs climbing trees, birds that look like aliens (see: https://forums.joeuser.com/156307) and stuff like that. 

So, the other day, I was wandering out of my office to go get coffee (which is across the hall- the coffee maker deserves its own article because it's just too cool) and saw this out of the corner of my eye:

My brain thought: Damn, that is one freakin' huge spider!.  Then my brain thought: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???!!!!

I stood staring at it in horror until it moved.  Here's a link to a closer look:

but the whitetail is a whole different story, being that anti-venom does nothing for the subsequent flesh eating after being bitten. Been there and it took well over 18 months before the wound even began to heal... and I still have issues with it still breaking out almost 20 years later... NASTY!


Yikes! Please keep them down under - and off the Boat! ;)

apparently I'm the only farm girl, because I stared at that photo for ten minutes trying to find a spider but could only see ducklings... wondered if there was a spider on a duckling or if they were tryign to eat said spider.... then read everything and reallized that the huddle looked kinda like a tarantula if you didn't look too closely.
boy do I feel silly
cute babies btw.

I'm never going to visit you....ever.


That'd be right!!! Nobody ever visits me... just cos I keep a few exotic pets (that may or may not bite) around the place. Where's tha Baygon?? ;)

Orright, so what would you have me do with them... flush 'em down the john (like some people did with their pet Burmese Pythons in Florida when they tired of them) and have various bities breeding like rabbits in the wild??? ;p

You had Mallards on your farm?  That's mighty odd in its own right...
