@Hectorvex: Sounds like SOMEONE has some prostate health issues...(nods sagely).

@MJDeviant: The best ones are wolf spiders. They move in quick bursts, and then pivot their cephalothorax around and point those huge beady center eyes at you.

Oh, and in Grenada, the large cockroaches they have there (which they call Mahogany birds), generally don't run like the large American cockroaches here. They almost always fly, and make a sickening pat-pat noise, like a baseball card in bike spokes.

I love animals and bugs, since I was a kid. I will admit however that spiders freak me out. I mean, I don't squash them or anything but they just creep me out a little more then anything else. I thinks it's because they are so quiet. Like when an ant runs, it's quiet, but it's movement is all mechanical and fast and harsh. But when a spider moves, it's very smooth and every movement seems to well thought out. As much as they creeped me out, that never stopped me from finding ants and dropping them in webs around the outside of my house to see how big the spider was that made the web. In fact, spiders owe me a pizza.

@snoop-blog: You would've loved coming to the pet shop I worked in. We had a pair of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, and one day they spawned, and a few of them escaped. A couple of weeks later the place was swarming with them. Awesome, yes? :P

This is not really new. My neighbor has had this for two years and hers animates with moving legs. She paid $40 for it.

I don't mind spiders so much, it's roaches that scare the hell out of me!

NO

Now imagine waking up, you open your eyes, and you see one of those little red spiders with the mondo long legs sitting right on the bridge of your nose.

Made for some interesting mornings in Grenada.

Ick. That's all I have to say about that.

Me waking up next to this:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

Sean, I strongly suggest staying away from South-East Asia. They have some wicked large spiders that are quick also- but tasty.

Looks a little like a Dr. Who prop (Planet of the Spiders, 1974) or the OuterLimits, or Star Trek, or the next Sci-Fi Channel Original movie "Giant Glowing Twitching Spider", which will be flowed by the sequel "Giant Glowing Twitching Spiders".

"Nothing starts a morning right like watching a loved one pee their pants and let out and a shrill, girlish scream."

That's how I start off EVERY morning in my house.

I love Halloween. Giz, you should have a contest for readers to submit photos of them dressing up as their favorite gadget.... or maybe that was the dumbest idea ever, you decide!

@Lev_Astov: You got 70 smackers to piss away on bullshit like this? I envy you!

lldsandsll

That's excellent. I must have one for my Halloween office decoration, seeing as I'm surrounded by female coworkers.

Lev_Astov

I would have to say this ranks above the centipede lamp featured here a few weeks ago. They got the number of legs right on this one.

Spiders transform me into a screaming, stomping, panicing killing machine. No mercy.

mmm, pivoting cephalothorax.., makes me all warm inside.

@ps61318: LOL

HellTempest

But. will it flush?

BiZarRroBALlmeR

It only comes in Red? It would be so much easier to camouflage the devil if we had some more variety.

MattTheRogue

Nice headline...lol.

RoboChop

Feh. I completely misread the article title as "36-Inch Twitching Spider: Your Worst Nightmare in LEGO Form." Or perhaps I should say that Sean totally miswrote the article by not finding a cool 36" LEGO spider to write about.

Locusts and Craneflies (mosquito hawks, skeeter eaters, etc [even though they don't eat mosquitos]). *shudder*
