tarantulas..

Seriously? There's not a more docile critter out there. A few years ago in Big Bend (the place where you want to go, phat), there was a bumper crop of tarantulas. They were migrating in a steady march to the north....weird. One crawled right over my foot while I was having dinner. Oblivious to me but fun to watch. Basically harmless furry spiders. We have them here...very common.


I am seriously arachnophobic. I know they're docile. I know they're harmless.. but that's the rational side of me.. The stupid idiotic irrational phobic side still knows they're furry and have 8 eyes and fangs that drip sulphuric acid... so it's only my irrational side that screams like a little girl when I see one <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
