Perfect solution to this for any oregon trips:
Stay in Portland
Only go to Voodoo doughnuts, any craft beer places or PokPok in Portland.
Profit?

Grown adults and their fear of spiders always amuses me.

The relationship between spiders and humans is kind of like the novel I am Legend. For every human killed by a spider, how many billions of spiders get killed by humans?

I bet you all love when this thread is bumped:

Some thing may forever haunt our dreams. Like the words “spider” and “face-sized” used in a sentence together.


And yet here those words are, straight from northern Sri Lanka, where scientists say they’ve discovered a new type of giant tarantula with a leg span of up to eight inches. Grab your rulers and mirrors, because yep, that’s about the average length of a human noggin.
As if that weren’t frightening enough (or cool enough — you pick), this particular spider was found living in trees. Anyone who’s ever walked beneath a tree and wound up brushing away a tiny spider knows that some arachnids enjoy an arboreal life, dangling from silken threads to surprise unsuspecting trail-walkers. Now imagine one the size of a volleyball landing on you like one of the facehuggers from Alien.

I don't get the spider hate. They eat bugs. Bugs are 10x grosser and way more plentiful.

I'm just wondering how an 8" spider goes undiscovered until now. Insanely remote and desolate terrain?

The only logical answer is that it ate everyone who came into contact with it

I hit the link. The spider wasn't too bad. What was more disturbing was the link at the bottom of the page to the Brazilian penis snake. Can't even bring myself to post the link... the trauma...too much...

And in case you were thinking they probably look far worse than they are, this one’s actually quite venomous. Oh, and fast — because of course it is. So now imagine being chased by a poisonous, sprinting, face-sized spider.

Apparentely these spiders are useless outside of their environment as the scientists tried to feed them all sorts of food which were rejected and they all perished.

So don't worry! Be happy!
