Spiders really aren't scary. I mean look at this little guy

JUST LOOK AT IT GODDAMNIT

...Ah yes...the elusive Blue-Bodied Question Mark Spider. Always terrifying.

Come on now, we must respect spiders. For all we know, we could kill one and then all of its children then come back for revenge.

Thank god the image isn't displaying properly.

Fixed. Always hate when sites do that.

It looks like a cartoon alien...
I guarantee if I found it in my house I'd still flip out and kill it, though.

That thing is fucking adorable

I have an affinity for spiders and that has nothing to do with the fact that I was called 'incy vincy spider' (alternate form of itsy bitsy spider) by some of my fellow classmates when I was in kindergarten/junior school

Also, spiders are bad ass.

EDIT: Holyshit! @inhumanist, I want to domesticate that spider!

That will be in a pixar movie before the end of the decade, 100%.

This too. The only arthropods that I see as more badass are mantids and giant fucking beetles. The Bruce Lees and battle cruisers of the insect world, respectively.

That thing is just weird, does it glow in the dark too?

It's a jumping spider, you can totally make it jump through hoops and shit!

It's a newborn though.

Nevertheless, it looks kinda awesome as an adult.


Fail

FasterDisaster, he looked the same, just a little bit older. His hair was a little shaggy, but he didn't have the madness he once had.

Never seen more than a few seconds of Alex Jones before now. Holy fuck, what an obnoxious prick.

Hate to be anal, but spiders aren't insects.

Also, I think I have OCP (Obsessive Compulsive Procrastination). It's just getting ridiculous now.

Oh shit

There, fixed it.

Lol, you'll need to fix that before going to university

Hell yes, Evil Doink! Evil Doink was awesome, and then they made the character a face and it all went downhill from there.

One day I was swept into the oval office by an overwhelming majority of the American people on the FUCK YOU Party ticket with my running mate Chris Christie (known as Chris-Chan online). I decided to follow my Libertarian convictions by privatizing the government and my first act was to hand over the treasury, IRS and military entirely to some hedge fund managers who contributed to my campaign! The hedge fund guys then instantly blew America's entire budget on a bad CDS deal! In order to get bailed out, they set the tax rate to 100% of all Americans' wealth and sent the military to collect it! Since Americans worship Wall Street guys and the military, they in no way resisted! Once the transfer was complete and America was a smoking ruin I constructed an impregnable sky dome around Wall Street and the finance district rocketed into the sky and into space to the secret rich guy utopian space colony! The removal of Wall Street caused the rest of New York to collapse into the sea in an Atlantean catastrophe from which there were no survivors! BTW, me and my Wall Street buddies abandoned all the middle class dorks who preached the free market gospel in blogs and think tanks to the wrath of the starving, destitute masses because we never gave a shit about them! The End!

John, I don't get the point of these little stories of yours

That ones really gone viral hasn't it.

hyuk hyuk hyuk :rimshot:

So I got new mantises this week.

I have three Oxyopsis gracilis (South American Green Mantis)
Two Creobroter pictipennis (Indian Flower Mantis)
and Two Sibylla pretiosa (Cryptic Mantis)

The Cryptic mantises are bizarre - very hyper and love to run around. Very long legs, they are like a mosquito and mantis hybrid.

Ugh, spiders. In my old house (which is rather secluded in the forest) we used to get big arse huntsmen more or less every night. The worst part was when they ran behind a wardrobe or something and you couldn't find them - you had to sleep in a room where you know a big hairy brown spider is lurking. Fortunately my current home only has smaller ones, the occasional redback but they don't last long with all the cellar spiders around.

No surprise that arachnophobia is so common though, scary shit.

Thankfully I live in New England where there are very few spiders and when there are they're usually small ones that don't look like they can eat your face.

Come to Australia, we have 90% of all poisonous animals in the world.

oh fuck...

He was a well known nutjob and a psychopath. Does this genuinely surprise you?

Not sure about the guy in the above post but there are too many rape crimes happening around the world. Also, I dunno if it's an increase of such crimes that I'm hearing about everyday globally or is it just that more incidents are being reported. Whatever it is, it's just fucked up. Sigh.

I think the climate around it has changed a lot since Saville - more cases are coming out of the woodwork and are being taken seriously, and victims are becoming more open with police and the system. The media is focusing on it a lot too, in the UK at least.

Not sure why, or how, but in my dreams last night, Evile was playing nonstop. I woke up just thinking about riffs.

Couldn't you dream of a better band, Faster?

NO! not Fitzcarraldo!

Anybody familiar with Czech grindcore band Gutalax? They're playing in my city in about a week, and I'm considering to attend the gig. Are they a good live band?

Nothing but garlic? But I'm Italian, there's no such thing as too much garlic! GIVE ME ALL THE GARLIC.

^ I support that message.

Also, these parodies are great. I never watched Dragonball so I seriously have a hard time deciding how much this even differs from the real thing. It's pretty seamless and convincing. Not retarded and random like most parodies.

The story and the parody go together perfectly (example: the Krillin Owned counter). Probably the best parody series I've seen.

Not to mention the voice actors are really really good. In many cases they sound almost exactly like their English dub counterparts.

I just saw Zero Dark Thirty

Only just now got to listen to Redefining Darkness. It sounds like a lost Opeth album at times. I love it and it's reaffirmed my overall massive enjoyment of Shining.
