I couldn't find a copy of this video on Youtube but this was funny:

no cgi, i have a bear grylls dvd where he eats a whip spider.... grim

seems fair enough if he wants to eat them i guess

In any case, if that isn't venomous then I would rather have this than the many wasps we have here during the 2nd half of the summer. Wasps are annoying as hell and if you try to make them go away they try to sting you >.<

I would hate that, but fortunately I never had that happen. Usually they stick to my t-shirt but above it, not under it. I usually try to be careful to not do big movements but at one point the thing has to go away. At least bees can only sting you one and they aren't as agressive. Apparently if you aren't allergic and get stung, it makes the next bee sting less harmful as the initial one boosts your immune system or something like that. The sting must be painfull, though (I never got stung by bees but it happened as kid by wasps)

If you see this behind your clock for whatever reasons, you'll probably not want to remove it again.
