I had a spider short out my C64 internal power regulation area a long time ago, back when I was living in NM.

That's the last time I allowed wee beasties free pass into my stuff.

Like mothers in-law?  Wasn't there an "Amazing Stories" episode about some giant spider in a warehouse?

This whole thread should be deleted as it is giving me the creeps.


Would this thread be considered a personal attack on spiders?

Jumping spiders are the only spiders allowed to share my domicile.  Every time I visit my family in the mid-west, I wind up with some kind of spider bite on a leg.  It swells up very large with a huge puss-crater in the center.  Visit the doctor, get some antibiotics to prevent infection, and let it run its course.  Very gross.

One of the apartment complexes in which I lived after first moving to Tallahassee had a brown widow infestation.  Luckily not inside, but all around the outside.
