"You're never more than three feet away from a spider." - Russell Holliman

you'd never survive in Hawaii - Scott Wamsley

I still think we swallow spiders. Not 8ish but at least one or two! - Mona N.

im going to sleep now - if i wake up with a spider in my mouth, im quitting ff. - Allen Stern

Bugs come back in the summer ... gotta watch out! - Nick O'Neill

@Allen, by the time you wake up, you've already digested it. ;-) - AJ Batac

in la jolla in the summer we had huge ones that hung from trees. don't miss that. - MG Siegler

as i said on twitter, mg, you're killing your allies against the bugs that are no doubt also in your apartment. - Eric Eldon

that's it, i'm bleaching my entire apartment. - MG Siegler

I'll kill them for you! My arachnophobia was cured when I went to the Philippines! - Mona N.

I'd take spiders over Hawaii centipedes any day. Those things, usually 6+ inches long, crawl into your bed while you're sleeping and will bite you repeatedly. It's like somebody hit you with a baseball bat. - Scott Wamsley

Allen: sweet dreams! :D - Mona N.

@Mona - How? I want to know... :-) - AJ Batac

@Scott - I totally agree! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - AJ Batac

Two? That's it? - Hutch Carpenter

Then there is probably several dozen that you haven't seen, yet. :) - Grant Bierman

just let one bite you, and then star in Spiderman IV. - Jason Kaneshiro

@jason - that'll conflict with my starring role in x-men 4 though... - MG Siegler

I don't live with you but, shit - that worries *ME* - l0ckergn0me

yea, those two you killed probably recently had hundreds of babies. And they all want revenge now. - Scott Wamsley

@scott - that is probably my ultimate fear. once when i was younger i found a spider nest thing and it burst open with a gazillion baby spiders. ugh i think i'm gonna pass out. - MG Siegler

@MG, when you said spiders, you meant Googlebot and YSlurp right? Coz I'm about to sleep and I'm scared now... :-) - AJ Batac

Ha, great comment, Scott! For what it's worth, spiders are good -- they eat other pests, and generally stay out of humans' way. - Brent Newhall
