Maybe this is a terrorist plot to get Chicken!
You're lucky that you uncovered it before it got you!

Heh... You should've seen some of the spiders I've killed. The largest spider I seen (inside) was big enough that it covered the light switc plate (that plastic cover around the switch). Big enough to put a saddle on it and ride it
The largest one I've seen (I didn't get the kill for it) was about the size of a human hand, and the SOB was inside the house!Don't like what I say? Ignore me.

I opened the door a bit and saw nothing. Closed the door, then the same bump bump bump. I thought someone was messing with my nerves. I turned the outside light on and opened the door really quick. There he was, a 10 inch frog looking at me from the doorstep.
It was quite hysterical, even the police were laughing... The look on the owners face though was pricelessDon't like what I say? Ignore me.

Nice spider! Don't kill it! That's bad luck!
Anyway... speaking of unusual pets... my boyfriend has a hornets nest outside his kitchen window. He lives on the 6th floor in an apartment building. He hans' had a single fly inside all summer (and no hornets either), so that's some really nice neighbours to have. Like a tiny air-force."Stop flame-wars - Report a post"
