I just caught a spider

[bung]

So yeah, I just caught a pretty big spider scampering across my carpet. It's about the size of a quarter and has some meat to it. What should I do with it?

[Grad]

Light the bastard on fire.

[Time Bomb Clock]

Nom nom nom

[Kassie09]

kill it i hate those motherfuckers

[Charles777]

Destroy it.

[showmethefever]

I'd say put it outside, but I've watched Saving Private Ryan far too many times to make that mistake, so you have to kill it.

[bung]

It looks exactly like this little fucker, appropriately called a giant house spider.

http://pestcontrolcanada.com/Questions/lintick%20spider_small.jpg

And from the site where I retrieved the picture comes this gem of a quote: "The large 'fist' shaped appendages in front of its front legs are its pedipalps, the spider's version of the penis."

[HometownHero]

Cook it over the fire and eat it

[HoldThatSound]

give it a name. and a leash

[showmethefever]

Microwave it.

[fishguts182]

Microwave it.

this, but whatever you do dont let peta find out or they will bitch

[xsandwichesx]

Kill that bastard what are you waiting for!!!

[x1onexwo1fx]

pics and videos ew ew ew going in here was a mistake.

[SincerelyMe]

Fuck you guys for the pictures and videos. Now I have to know shit like that exists. Awesome.

[bung]

Kill that bastard what are you waiting for!!!

It needs to have a fair trial. AP is collectively deciding its fate.

Until then, it sits trapped in a glass on my kitchen table.

[UnderclasHero]

It needs to have a fair trial. AP is collectively deciding its fate.

Until then, it sits trapped in a glass on my kitchen table.

COME ON KILL IT!! THATS WHAT WE DECIDED ALREADY BY A MILE. I MEAN YOU DONT WANT IT TO ESCAPE FROM YOUR KITCHEN TABLE RIGHT?

[showmethefever]

Those videos creepy, but they're fucking awesome and hilarious.

[xsandwichesx]

It needs to have a fair trial. AP is collectively deciding its fate.

Until then, it sits trapped in a glass on my kitchen table.
Wait till it escapes. Just wait...

[bung]

Buahahaha. I really don't even need a lid on the glass. The sides of it are apparently too slippery for the poor bastard to even climb to the top.

[x1onexwo1fx]

dumb. you should have the glass flipped over.

[showmethefever]

Yeah, you're laughing now, but that laughing will turn into reversing puberty when you wake up tonight with that fucker on your bed or on your face or something.

[Avalanche1]

http://www.japanesebugfights.com/

[bung]

dumb. you should have the glass flipped over.

That's how I had it. Then I had to transfer it from the carpet to the table to examine it better, and I used a lid to scoot the little fellow into the end of the glass. So I just left it like that.

[phil19]

no need to kill it. set it free

[studskalny]

Set it free for sure..killing it would be lame. You know you have a heart.

[SincerelyMe]

There is absolutely a reason to kill it. It's trespassing.

[showmethefever]

I'm being serious with the whole Saving Private Ryan thing, if you don't kill it, it will come back to kill you.

[Sloth7]

I'd say let it go, for the sole reason of karma. Kill a spider, and next thing you know you wake up with a canker sore. Not worth it.

[flask]

torture it for information. obviously it was a scout and there are others waiting to attack. send them a message and burn him.

[bung]

what, that's a tiny spider .. come to australia and see what actual big spiders look like scampering across your carpet (and eating your dog as a snack .. okay not really)

let it go, imo.

It may not be that big in size compared to your kangaroo spiders or whatever, but according to Wikipedia it's the second fastest spider in the world!

And it only loses out on a technicality!

"With speeds clocked at 1.73 ft/s (0.53 m/s), the giant house spider held the Guinness Book of World Records for top spider speed until 1987 when it was displaced by sun spiders (solfugids) although the latter are not true spiders as they belong to a different order."

[a nice person]

name it. then kill it. it makes the funeral that much more personal.

[de1337ed]

eat it.

[InBetweenAisles]

Light the bastard on fire.

Haha, tried this once.

[danielineffigy]

If it's dangerous, kill it. If it's not, kill it.

[Nick Le]

name it. then kill it. it makes the funeral that much more personal.

This made me laugh.

Go for murder.

[Hamlet]

I like to trap it in a jar and wait til it suffocates.

[Reaver]

I hate fast spiders, they're so unpredictable. I voted for name it and keep it as a pet, because that option might provide more lulz

[JoeLovesMO]

Put a pin through each of its legs, then shoot it in the face with a BB gun.

[bung]

Update: I caught a second, smaller spider. Upon closer examination, it appeared to be of the same species. I put them together in the same glass, so they could maybe be friends until the verdict is reached.

I also captured a small "pill bug," which I placed in the container as their (possible) final meal. If you don't know, this is a pill bug:

http://www.rebuild-from-depression.com/pictures/Busters/pillbug.jpg

[Smeee]

My flatmate tried to kill one he caught in the microwave once. Problem was, it was inside an upside jar with a birthday card on the bottom. The birthday card has some metallic writing on it, so when he started the microwave, a mini electric storm ensued and eletrocuted the spider.

Probably a better way to go then being microwaved to death I guess :shrug:

[FueledByRock]

Make sure it isn't a pregnant female. If you smash those, a billion little spiders come out and that's a bitch. You should definitely kill them both, though, because they will probably end up making more spiders if you release them.

The little bastard has a dick on it's head? Keep it and call him 'Dickhead'.

[Dumpweed]

this is an itchy ass thread.

[fflash]

And you've got spiders...

[Sarcasm]

Put it on a leash and train it.

[lastxcallforsin]

I usually let them go outside.

[FallOutWeeze]

Kill It With Fire

[zachff]

Fucking kill that shit man. And move to a house with less massive fucking bugs.

[catherinexhimel]

Kill it.

[Charles777]

Murk it yet?

[takeiteasy_]

My skin feels all itchy after reading this thread and now I'm all paranoid

[jaryd]

http://www.japanesebugfights.com/

You just gave me hours worth of entertainment.

[Avalanche1]

You just gave me hours worth of entertainment.

Some of the bugs in those videos are so crazy looking, it's awesome.

[thesollopsist]

Fuck you guys for the pictures and videos. Now I have to know shit like that exists. Awesome.
this. Kill the little fucker, I hate spiders.

[SomedayTheFire]

Microwave the little bastards.

[Hagysaurus Rex]

Kill it! It'd kill you if it had the chance!

[The Summer Ends]

holy shit why do you have that thing at all kill it with fire then burn your house down so all other damn spiders die also

fuck spiders

[Yellowcard2006]

Spiders should die. KILL IT WITH FIRE

[Forever.Zero]

Put it in someone elses home.

[xsandwichesx]

Put a whole shit load of hedge apples around your house during the fall so those fuckers will stay out. Actually works not gonna lie.

[The_Blackout94]

Spray it with hairspray/ deodourant then set it on fire. Don't let it live. I let one go once and it was so happy I set it free, it invited all it's friends over to 'thank me'. I was finding those buggers all winter.

[Reaver]

Put it in someone elses home.
hahahaha

[EvilZeppelin]

Fuck you guys for the pictures and videos. Now I have to know shit like that exists. Awesome.

I'm with you on this. fucking can't stand spiders all because of the movie "arachnophobia".

[xAnti-Violentx]

oh my god these videos o_O i watched them all. i'm never ever gonna live in America. fuck. these creatures scare the living shit out of me.

[ace1112]

according to darwin its better for the species for it to die, but honestly let it go and prove itself on it's own home turf

[NoNameHere]

Fuck you guys for the pictures and videos. Now I have to know shit like that exists. Awesome.

I'm with you dude.

To the OP, kill it. The only cool spider is Spiderman.

I have to say, that picture you posted looks like a hobo. The telling sign is no rings on the legs. Wolf/house spiders do have rings.

[bung]

I have to say, that picture you posted looks like a hobo. The telling sign is no rings on the legs. Wolf/house spiders do have rings.

I feel like I can sort of see rings, but the picture is just too blurry to tell, maybe? But that's not actually a picture of my spider. :shrug:

I wish I had a magnifying glass so I could examine the little guy closer. :-(

[RushAndAPush]

My god you people are barbaric. I am truly truly disappointed in the AP community. 45%? Really?

[RushAndAPush]

This spider has the right to a fair trial just as any of us would.

[SomedayTheFire]

My god you people are barbaric. I am truly truly disappointed in the AP community. 45%? Really?
It's a spider, not a fucking dolphin. Get over it.

[RushAndAPush]

[SomedayTheFire]

Do you happen to understand the concept of sarcasm?
In a bad mood atm so no, plus I liked my dolphin comment and if I read the second on I would have realised. My bad.

[SicTransitIbiza]

I would let it live. Spiders kill all the other bugs in your house for you... for free. That's particularly useful if you have house centipedes in your house... which I do. you think spiders are bad? those things are nasty. http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Nature/Centipedes/HouseCentipede.jpg

[RushAndAPush]

hahaha I was talking about your spider.

You should let that one go outside, and stop killing jumping spiders. They kill wasps, hobos, and each other. I carry them outside by hand or silk line. They're basically ninjas..

Upon closer inspection (like a fricken centimeter away from my eye), it definitely has rings. :-)

ATTENTION: I am going to take a shower, go get gas, cigs, and a 'script, and when I get back I will let everyone know my (highly anticipated!) decision.

All of those people committed epic fail, and here's why:

1. The spider is not dangerous and poses no harm to either humans or common house pets
2. Spiders are a valuable part of the ecosystem.
3. I was going to let the spider go from the start, and these people were stupid enough to think I would rely on the collective stupidity of AP to make a life decision. They also picked the wrong answer.

When I let the spider go it began scurrying away, but abruptly stopped in its tracks. It took a short pause and slowly turned its head to face me. From behind its two giant penises, I saw small, but entirely discernible, tear drops fall from each of its six, beady eyes. The wonder and awe of Great Mother Nature shall never be lost from my paltry mind.

[lauren1234]

Kill it.

I wanted you to get a leash and walk it like a dog.

they're not doing you any harm. in fact, they're doing you a favor by eating a lot of your other household pests.

Last two weren't so bad compared to the centipede.

[tidalwave]

last night at like 3am the biggest house centipede was crawling up my wall. it was SOO long...and it wasn't even running like those things usually do. it had it's body arched and was just marching around like it was the king of my room. :l

[muttley]

Something ran across my walkway last night. It was too dark to see detail, but it looked like it had the body of a spider, and the over-sized head of an ant. Bigger than a quarter. Maybe it was carrying something...
