WTF is this spider?

[SA Friday]

This is a Solifugae (order) Eremobatidae (family), Wind-scorpion (common). I fucking hate these things. Had bigger ones in Iraq, camel spiders. Saw one chasing a rat in Baghdad the size of a chihuahua. I have killed them with fire, fucking gunfire. They would run at you during the day. They were running to get into your shadow. Regardless, try standing there when one of these bigger than your hand is coming at you at about 15 mph. It's like having a fucking Alien face sucker chasing your ass.

GOIN' HOT!!!!

I believed the shadow reason until I had one chase me at night.

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that. But let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly... clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or *anybody*, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.

Wrong.

I thought I was the only one that watched that show.

Gawd! That goes WAAAY back! I loved that show, when I watch it now it is not nearly as cool. But then again, neither am I...

I, also, think you should go with aforementioned nuclear strike from space. You can't be to careful with something that looks like that.

Hippie.

It is just as cool as it ever was but the audiences have been dumbed down by UNreality TV. How can you get any cooler than Delenn advising the Earth Alliance fleet, "Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!"

I remembered this thread because everyone thinks these are evil (including me), but then I saw this crazy ass picking one up and saying that they can't even break the skin with their jaws.... this guy from what I have seen goes and makes video's of himself getting bitten and stung by everything he can find and then puts it on youtube. So, I wonder, is he right? He picks one up at 8:54 and plays with it as it rears up to bite, and he doesn't care.

Crazy, we were just watching his videos last night and I was wondering where I could post his stuff without starting a new thread. My favorite is him getting stung by the Velvet Ant. Search "Stung by Cow Killer" and it'll come up. My daughter and I laughed so hard during that video. That's the kind of YouTube channel I'd have.
