stonebro: Had a spider as "pet" once too, big-ass female tarantula.
Ha! :) When I was younger and my brother and I shared a room, he had a pet tarantula as well, named it Atilla the Hun. It was prickly. ;P

And congrats BlazeKING for the agile kill...speaking of which, I had quite the kill yesterday involving a fly, it was running on the edge of the window blinds and somehow I got him, split him right in half, the poor thing. It had to be a one in a thousand whack. Well, have a good night! :D

I don't mind dealing with a spider in my bed. I've had them ambush me in the shower and then after I took a shower and found them crawling on my towel. Happened several times during one summer a year or two ago. Now I have made it a habit to double check the shower and my towel before I shower.

keeveek: It depends of the size of a spider.

If it was like this: http://www.diptera.info/forum/attachments/minispi2.jpg

i wouldn't be even bothered.

But if I saw something like THIS in my house:
http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/spider-hell.jpg

You would see me jumping the hell out of a window :D
I dunno - it's the little ones that pack a lot of venom (see Black Widow/Red-back as an example). The big ones, like the aforementioned bird-eating spiders jump on their prey (which is also something I wouldn't like.

The Huntsman spiders are cool - they'll follow you around (only to hide from the sun in your shadow but they'll chase you for it if you run away LOL )

My family mostly live in Oz now - NT - so yeah, fun with nature ;)

I say you head back to the ship, nuke the whole installation from orbit. Only way to be sure...

Oh, you reminded me of my spider stories... I swear those bastards are just waiting for the best moment to scare the crap out of you.

1. I was falling asleep in my bed, I was in that sweet semi-dream state, when I opened my eyes a little bit for some reason. What I saw was this huuuuge black spider RUNNING straight at my face across the bed. I don't think I ever jumped out of the bed so fast :D

2. This is even better: In the evening, I stumbled upon a link to this old maze flash game that is supposed to scare you at the end and I played tor the laughs (this one). EXACTLY at the moment, when I was at the end of the maze, in the narrow spot, slooooooowly moving my mouse and expecting a scream from my computer... this large black spider descended himself, hanging from the ceiling on a web, right in front of my face, about 10-15 cm from my eyes :(( You can't imagine how horrible it is, when you are expecting one big scare and another one jumps at you a few moments before that :D

Oi, you know what would happen then, one of them would hide in someones clothes or backpack or whatever, and start a big nest on your ship, which you then take back to the homeworld...and then, you know what...What are you trying to do? :O You should feel very very guilty my friend. ;(
