this hairy legged monstrosity was found in a Manchester home in the early hours of this morning.
Caution: Scary Stuffs InsideX
how freaking scary is that!?! we don't even have things like that in the UK. when called, the fire fighters wouldn't go near the gargantuan beast, and instead called in animal services to humanely cart the giant arachnoid away to a local zoo, before it rampaged throughout the city, lol, no doubt they did it with a huge drinking glass and a giant sheet of paper
lol, I've been speaking to an Australian friend of mine, who says that it looks a lot like a giant huntsman spider (usually found in Africa). he says that they don't usually come in the house, but at night they sometimes attach themselves to the driver's side window, lol, sounds like fun. someone else said that one was seen in Florida, and it got there by hitchhiking on a bunch of bananas. I'm not certain that this one was actually found in Manchester this morning, so don't quote me on that, but this is the message which came with the pic

THIS was actually found this morning in a house in Manchester, , Fire Brigade were apparently shit scared and handed it over to a spider specialist. Family fled screaming from their home, , think Id do same its like something from a horror movie.
Haha, yeah, I've seen spiders that size like camel spiders and crab spiders, but not in people's homes, and surely not in Manchester! That's so surreal, finding that, I'd probably freeze up as I try to take it all in X..X
Knowing the internet, this could be fake, but since spiders like this do roam this earth, I believe it
Oh yes, the huntsman spider! I've heard of them, and wtf in Florida?? HITCHIN ON BANANAS?? T..T
STAY AWAY
*violently shakes fist* "damn you, bananas, and your spider carrying ways." lol, there was a Mexican red knee found in someone's home a few years back in London. they reckoned that one came over in bananas too. the woman found it in the bathroom and when the RSPCA came to remove it, they said "this spider has recently layed eggs." lol, they found the eggy sack under the duvet on her bed. I had just hit the snooze button when this report came on the radio, lets just say that, for once, I was early for work
lol, hoax-slayer is a site of opinions and not facts. they never back up their findings with reputable sources and their 'experts' are very questionable. I wouldn't rely on them to tell me that today is Wednesday, let alone the authenticity of a picture on the internet. that being said, I did point out that I doubt that the picture is in Manchester, and to tell the truth, probably not even a new pic. but where/when ever it was taken is beside the point, I still wouldn't want it in my house, would you?
I laughed out loud at the thought of you reaching to push the snooze alarm and hearing that report on the radio!
I, too, would have rethought the extended snooze....and all the bedding would have promptly been stuffed into the first available washing device.....and then I would have prolly itched all day, assuming bugs were hatching behind my ear!
I think that picture might evoke a nightmare or two...I know a couple arachniphobics that would be best to not look! Lol!
haha, it was in honour of them that I hide the contents, the last thing I need is to lose the arachnophobe vote. lol, and the sheets were still hovering in the air as I exited the room, so I only know for sure that they landed, or atleast had been re-spread on the bed by a hoard of juvenile fly arachnids, because I had to come home after work
I literally almost threw up when I saw that. I'm not really that afraid of spiders but I'm definitely going to have nightmares tonight. WHY DID I LOOK AT THAT?!
lol, I know right, arachnoids like that just shouldn't be allowed, especially given the current economic climate, good flies are already on the decline. I say we all band together and write a stiff letter to that fiendishly fiendish fiend, Mother Nature. "dear, Mother. we are writing this letter to grammatically convey our stringent disapproval of this vile hairy legged monstrosity. its waaaay to big, and its eleventy twelve eyes keep following us around the room..."
lol, I know right. I think its probably the shape of the thing more than its size that... nope, scratch that, I've just had another look at the mutant beast, and its definitely the size. that thing is huge!!
the picture is real, you can look them up on the net, Giant Huntsman Spider, it'll give you measurements. but its more than probable that the location is a hoax. don't worry about it though, its highly unlikely that you'll ever meet one face to face
haha, judging by the size of the thing, we might need to chase it up a very tall building, and call in for an airstrike in order to do that. because that thing is a gargantuan monster of crazily unnatural proportions. lol, I just feel sorry for the screaming person its going to be carrying up there
lol, whhhhhy, why did you take a peek? were the warning signs not enough!? or did curiosity just get the better of you?!? *falls to knees in the rain waving fists at sky* "¿Porqué? ¿POR QUÉ?" lol, but I know what you mean, you don't have to be arachnophobic for this goliath beastling to to test the cut of your jib
Curse my inquisitive mind!! I just had to know. Now I'm hanging my head in shame. Why? WHY?! JUST LISTEN TO REASON DAMN YOU! Never again will I ignore warning signs...
