outside. They're very quick. i found victim number three on the wall next to my computer. Poor thing had to go because i don't want to find it crawling on my feet at some unsuspecting moment. If it had stayed outside, it might have lived, but rules are rules. And a death sentence is a death sentence.
In my room there shall be no pardon from the death sentence. i am the governor, the judge, the jury and the executioner.

As a former tarantula-owner from way back when (I had four), I have to express sadness at all this arachnicide. Jumping spiders have fantastic eyesight, which allows them to lock on to their prey from a distance and perform a kill quickly.
Unfortunately, as little predators, they're hard-wired to detect insect-sized targets, not gargantuan Annikas bearing down on them. Alas for my exoskeletal friends.

PS: If you kill a male jumping spider with spray and flip its little corpse over, you'll see it has a camouflage pattern forming the words "White Men" on the underside of its abdomen. Flip a female jumping spider over, and you'll find "Can't Jump." Most of these spiders were specially bred in a lab by a team of scientists working for Woody Harrelson. The team is currently developing a species that displays the word "HEMP."

Shall I fuel your paranoia? I think I shall. I was once bitten by a spider that had nested in one of my combat boots. It took about two weeks for the swelling to go down, and it was quite nasty.

It's a common wolf spider. They're hunters, don't build nests, and are about as harmful to people as a baseball cap. annie, didn't anyone ever tell you it's bad luck to kill a spider?
It rips my heart out every time you brag about murdering a spider.

I'm jealous over how you managed that multi-player deal. I guess being a hot...uhhh...whatever your hair color is these days...must have something to do with it.

Sosa somehow made the All-Star ballot this year. How did that happen? As of this morning, he has 37 hits in 153 at bats with a .242 avg and only 17 RBIs and 16 runs. Not so great after 40 games. Maybe the Cubs had the right idea (for once).

Or me, for trading him to you.
BTW, I cut the guy I traded him for. Saw him play Saturday and decided he sucked.

Looks like we both got a raw deal on that one.
