h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

guess what you guys, I jumped out of my bed this morning and to my horror, I found a spider crawling around in the covers. ARRRRRGGGGGHH

It scared the crap out of me, I mean, I din't know what to do, then my Mum came in and crushed it in the bed. I'll never be able to sleep in that bed again.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH......

It was just sooooooooo scary, especially for all of those peeps who are scared of spiders. And all those who don't mind 'em, it wasn't funny and I wish I wasn't scared of 'em but I am and that's the way I was made and the way I will stay.

Yeah Jeni, I hate spiders. Yesterday I was leaning out of my window, a HUUUUGEE bumble be flew past and that was scary! Well, spiders are worse!

Spiders make me cack my pants.
How big was your spider, Jeni?
Just think, how many spiders will I see in Australia in June? We didn't see any last time, cos it was their winter, but I got a feeling I might not be so lucky this time...

I saw one of those awful jumping spiders the other day, they're bad too.

Oh, and I've got another thing to say aarrrrghh about, we've got a history trip to Duxford on Wednesday, and Jeni and me are bringing our cameras, and Shim's got me a scanner. Once I've got that, certain people had better watch out.....

How big are jumping spiders?

Awaiting more pics *^_^*

They're quite small, but VERY scary. They have a distinctive shape, just keep away from them, they can jump something like 20 cm in 1 jump!

Yes, I've just gotta get the scanner from Shim and here we go!!!!!

Give us a shout when you're ready.
Where's Jeni?

Jeni's here, jumping spiders ut-oh, I'd probably die if I saw one of those! The spider I had was one of those crabby ones, not that big but big enough!

Esti, can I see these piccys first? please I'll let you see the one that I got of you when you were sneezing! Bring them into school tomorrow, please..??

Disgusting spider fact... The average human swallows 8 spiders in their life time - AARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH - How gross is that??

Jeni X, Is anyone in the party??

I heard that it was eight spiders "in their sleep". How'd they work that out?

Dunno, that's what I meant, 'cos when you breath in, if there's a big spider on your nose, it goes up there with the air, doesn't it?

They probably took loads of peeps apart and all the spider bones up and averaged them out (I hope they didn't)

Jeni X

I doubt the spiders would have any bones left (i didn't think spiders had bones at all).

They don't have bones.
Just think, swallowing a spider, whether you know it or not....uh oh, I'm starting to shake! I didn't say that!
The other day I was walking upstairs and this spider was on a box. I screamed, and I HAD TO GET RID OF IT!!!!!!! It was in a cup in my hand, and was screeming and shaking at the same time. I mean-uuuuurrrrrgggee!

AAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

it's moving it's coming, can you see what I see?
it's black and crabby, just run
Easier said than done
I can see it looking at you,
crawling, not jumping coming closer to you

(to the tune of pure shores)

Trinity

I'm sure that would be very clever, if I knew the words and tune of Pure Shores...

This is the season for spiders unfortunately

And ants. You get loads of 'em setting up shop in the pavements around out house. Bloody pests...

Naa - ants aren't as bad as spiders, wasps are though.

I was going to bed last night and I asw a spider on the seiling so I'm like "ok" and then it got squashed by accident while trying to get it, in a match box. So My dad threw it down the toilet and then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and you should have heard me scream when I saw this spider down the toilet.

Sure it was dead but it was floating "AAARRGGGGHHHHHH"

ok - then I meant to say Ceiling and saw.

I swear I don't normally spell like that

Not nice...do I get the impression you see a lot of spiders around you?

yeah well, I guess I do actually.

There was another one this morning on the ceiling in exactly the same place as the other one and now it's gone!

ut-oh
