SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!

Sat Jan 31, 2009, 8:54 AM
So I'm driving back to a friends house with a couple of guys. We were just coming back from the supermarket (that thing is a life saver, open 24hrs!!!) after buying some junk food and looking forward to some multiplayer ps3 action!

Anyhow, Simon blurts out "SPIDER!!".. It took me a moment to register what he said, but a few seconds later my peripherals picked up on what he was talking about. I don't think I actually heard what he said at the time, I just heard a noise and then it hit me. I'm not sure how I missed it, but there was this MASSIVE spider crawling around the inside of my windshield... RIGHT INFRONT OF MY FACE!!!
Suddenly driving became a challenge, I could hear them yelling at me to pull over but I insisted it was fine seeing as it was only a Huntsman spider.

Well, I thought it was a Huntsman. I hear this "JOSH! THAT IS NOT A HUNTSMAN". It was funny at the time, I hadn't actually said anything yet somehow they all knew I assumed it was a harmless house spider... Well I was wrong!!! It was like all the blood had rushed out of my face and left this cold lifeless feeling. My security blanket was ripped off and all hell broke loose.

Everyone started to yell and demand that I pull over immediately. I mean, I can understand where they're coming from but there is no chance in hell I'm going to stop my car in the middle of the night with a spider next to my face!! not without a light anyway.
Luckily there was a petrol station not to far from our current possition, so we pulled in. I can't imagine how it must have looked! As soon as the car stopped we bailed and slammed the doors!!!

Cutting a long story short (partly because I need sleep..), we found the spider and sprayed the hell out of it to no avail. In the end, the guy at the station blasted it with fire and then put his cigarette out on it's head. I know, it sounds cruel!!
But keep this in mind, it looked venomous and when you live in Australia (the home of deadly spiders and snakes) you don't want to risk it!!!

Anyway, it is time to sleep!! I know this is poorly written, there are mistakes, bad grammer and I sound very unenthusiastic about it all.... But I'm tired as hell and want to post this while I still remember!!!

NIGHT!

You shouldn't worry, the only venomous one we get in Victoria is a red back, and theyre tiny ^_^ Not to mention, if it bites you you have 24 hours to get the anti venom :)

I had a big spider like that fall into my hair in primary school out of a pine tree, it was the size of two fists, no one thought it was a huntsman, but it was passive and didn't hurt anyone.

I'm just glad you didn't crash the car!

Yeah I was worried about it being a wolf spider... I hate those things and they can have necrotic venom. I like my limbs when they're NOT rotting off.

Don't ask me 'cause I don't know.

Yeah it was haha. I think I worked out where I came from. Under the quarter pannel there was a heap of spider web... Initially I assumed it came from under the dash, I had just opened it earlier that day and forgot to put the side back on.
Well... By forgot I mean I couldn't be bothered.
