Now I'm going to read it up, find out exactly what I need to do to keep a Tarantula alive, build a cage to sit next to my comp and pick a passive one up to start me off! Oh, the joy I shall have watching this little bugger stare at me while I type! I'll let you know... Oh, this is the book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764100769/qid=1129158755/sr=8-3/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-2087759-8401601?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 So... let's see what I end up getting!

Anyone else remember that story of the german dude who owned thousands of exotic insects? One day his black widow bit him and he died, his temperature tanks exploded and released all kinds of insects which were feeding on his corpse by the time the cops found him? Yeah, good times. GL Xarp! <3

You see, that story was false. Spiders eat living things... not dead ones. That's not the way they work. Actually, someone (maybe snopes?) uncovered how much of a b******t article that one was. Lemme see if I can dig it up. Doing a quick google search, this is all I could come up with. but it seems true enough... http://www.rense.com/general49/eaten.htm
