That's a very handsome spider.

By the way, have you counted how many face spiders you have moochedit? See post 750.

Fake news!

Fake news!

Well at least you know why if you wake up with an itchy face.

Inspired by the terrible snow thing on the unmentionable forum, I've discovered that there are loads of spider screensavers which are free to download. I'm sure moochedit will rush to download these to make his days much more relaxing.

Saturday spiders.

A ladybird spider.

Look at the teeth on this one.

Don't say nasty things about spiders - they can hear you.

Turns Out Spiders Can Hear You From Across The Room

A new study has just revealed that spiders are even more impressive - or terrifying, depending on your point of view - than we'd ever imagined.

"Minnie in the bathroom" has gone quiet so I've repositioned my WIFI camera to attempt to capture "Minnie on the the stairs" - which is a bit awkward .... but science ...
It's not the best of cameras and a bit too close to focus properly... I'll see how well it works with some auxiliary IR hooked up.
Unfortunately my Microsoft webcam has a far too effective IR filter and I don't want to risk destroying it...

 

[gentlegreen]

Unfortunately no sign of Minnie - perhaps my placing a fruit fly infested apple near her means she's sleeping off a large meal ...

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Any sign of Minnie gentlegreen?

Ooh look moochedit, what do you think is waiting for you in there?

 

[moochedit]

This is a disturbing change of tactics by the spiders. Watch your door handles!

They've also learned to drive, so you'd better watch out. They'll be mowing down haters before you know it. They can't drive themselves, but they've developed parasitical venom which takes over the mind of humans when bitten, so they basically have a remote control car.

Yes i knew it! Clearly you have taken over the mind of farmerbarleymow and he is now your puppet. Is he still in there somewhere or are you in total control? what do you spiders want?

 

[moochedit]

And what exactly do you spiders have against christmas? I mean if you were a turkey i could understand it but spiders?

Any sign of Minnie gentlegreen?

I saw her legs sticking out yesterday as I went up and down stairs ... I may have to be very naughty and deploy a spare solenoid or buzzer so I can remotely poke her tripwires ...

Can't be arsed to wade through 26 pages so sorry if this is a pea

 

[farmerbarleymow]

what do you spiders want?

Your blood in revenge for your years of wanton cruelty and slaughter of our brethren.

That's a lovely spider - bet moochedit would love to have one of those to keep him company at home.

 

[moochedit]

It's a war. It was them or me.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Too late to start making excuses now. You'll keep a family of a thousand spiders fed for a few days - at least until your liquified innards are sucked dry, leaving a hollowed out husk of a corpse.

I hooked up some additional IR for Minniecam.
I think I can just about see her toes poking out a few minutes later.
Hopefully the IR will attract some moths for her ...

 

[farmerbarleymow]

moochedit - how could you resist such a kind offer?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

And what exactly do you spiders have against christmas? I mean if you were a turkey i could understand it but spiders?

Because they have standards.
