I'd like to know what a googlespider is. I've noticed them lurking and i was, I admit, intrigued.

So they're not actually people? they're a sort of benign electronic virus? Ugh!

EATEN BY HIS PET SPIDERS
From Allan Hall In Berlin
SPIDERMAN Mark Voegel became a gruesome feast for the creepy-crawlies he loved.
They devoured his body after he got a lethal bite from his favourite pet Bettina - a deadly Black Widow.
More than 200 spiders, several snakes, a gecko called Helmut and several thousand termites gorged on their former master for days.
Police who were called in after neighbours complained about the smell said it was "like a scene from a horror movie".
They found the remains of 30-year-old loner Voegel draped across a sofa, covered in giant cobwebs.
"Spiders were running all over him," said a spokesman. "They were coming out of his nose and mouth. Larger pieces of flesh had been torn off by the lizards and were taken back to the webs of tarantulas and other bird-eating spiders.
"There were open cages and terrariums everywhere - all bathed in a weird green light. It was horrible."
Police described Voegel's tiny apartment in the German city of Dortmund as a cross between a botanical garden and the butterfly breeding room in the serial killer movie The Silence of the Lambs.
Local expert Gabi Bayer said Voegel should never have been allowed to keep many of his pets.
She added: "Some of his spiders are so aggressive they're the equivalent of the pit-bull in the animal world."
I'm looking for a picture to illustrate this true story. Billy O. In the meantime check this site out: http://kerfuffle.net/Content/149

I dunno. It looks pretty real to me.Martin said:
I remember seeing one of these documentaries where a snake attacked some sort of spider. The spider won and ate the snake!!!
Billy, yes Google Spiders are supposed to be automated "robots" which journey around the web gathering information for their masters. I found some more info on them here.

Camel Spiders - I first got news of them when I read an article online stating that a marine in Iraq found two of those puppies ..
.. In. His. Sleepingbag!!
I originally posted that picture, but it only showed a red X. So I posted another one.
Here's the pic of the marine showing the spiders he found:

Come on. Just look at those pictures! Especially those last two. Wouldn't you be starting to get slightly worried, put down the friggin' camera, and go to a doctor!
I'm not buying it.
Cheers

Okay! Marine Corps sleeping bags in Iraq just got crossed off my list of interesting places to visit. Awww, heck, let's just cross off the Middle East!
And guys, about that fella's hand.
1) Maybe it was a doctor taking the picture. I've heard there's not much you can do for a brown recluse bite.
2)And if he didn't see a doctor before it got out of hand, well, that's what he deserves for being stupid and not going to a doctor.
