Are spiders getting bigger?

[whisky]

Used to be in my house we'd see a spider two inches long and think it was big.

In the last week alone I have had to get rid of three about 5 inches long.

Maybe they're eating all the bees and getting fatter?

Global warming is going to make them as big as polar bears.

 

[CaptainWacky]

They can defend us from HOME INVADERS then.

I'm sure there is a website on this phenomenon!

*canned laughter*

Also I don't think I'll ever get over the habit of shaking my shoes out before putting them on since I found a fucking scorpion in one once.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I found a mouse in my shoe once. Not quite as scary.

 

[Dr Dave]

The spiders are getting bigger and are out to get you!

One Christmas I stayed over at my grans and picked up my shoes one morning to find a dead mouse whose face had been eaten off. I thought it was really cool, but no one else was bothered.

i once found three mice in a cutlery drawer. I killed them with a slipper and even managed to catch one in mid air before killing it with my foot, encased only in a sock. It wasn't an experience I would rush to repeat

One of my cats is a viciously effective born predator so no rodent would survive in my house for very long.

 

[headvoid]

I bet I could kill your cat with my slipper.

NOT SO EFFECTIVE NOW EH? IN A GAME OF ROCK / PAPER / SCISSORS / CAT / SLIPPER I WOULD WIN

 

[CaptainWacky]

Miaow slipper dead.
