I saw this...on twitter. :blush:

Anyway, wasn't as bad as I would have thought given that most of the photos weren't close ups.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I'd prefer the spider apocalypse to the fly apocalypse that happened one week after the rains and the beetle apocalypse that happened two weeks after the rains and the mouse apocalypse three weeks after the rains and the rat apocalypse four weeks after the rains.

Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

If the spider apocalypse wasd made up of spiders that were actually capable of controlling the rat apocalypse, you probably wouldn't.  :lol:

Great thread.

I'm glad to report I've gotten better with age. I really don't like spiders but the photos herein didn't even make my skin crawl.

Had an interesting sideeffect too. Diseases usually carried by flies such as malaria dropped by a good bit afterwards since most of the flies got eaten by spiders. Those trees turned out to be really good traps.
