I can't decide if the first one is cute or disturbing.

Re: How can something be SO cool and SO creepy at the same time?
Yeah, I've gotten the hoax emails a few times, and sent the snopes referance page to the senders. They are cool critters, but creepy looking as heck if you think about waking up to them crawling on you. Ewww.
I think they are like the false scorpians.. yes?

I'm with ya on that! I hate big bugs, and especially the ones that fly..
I get so freaked out, I don't really even know why. The funny thing is, when I say I hate bugs to someone, I almost always get this reply: "So, your scared of big, flying bugs, but you own and take care of snakes?... Wow Tiffany." LOL

You know, and it's just a rumor, but I've it told that they, they being scientifical types that know these kinds of things, have been said to have found perfectly preserved female camel spiders, gravid no less, in the Tombs of Pharaohs and that the eggs, when exposed to fresh air, hatched.
If that's true, then you keeping that thing in a jar might not make any difference to any eggs inside it hatching.
That very same rumor monger, the one who originally rumored me, the source of many an odd fact and not a few stranger than true stories, said that all camel spiders, and this is true, are not only female but born gravid, living only long enough to mature the eggs within them to the point that the babies can hatch out, eat the mother and each other, as well as any other flesh, like you or me, they happen upon until they too have matured, being born pregnant, and lay their eggs which hatch already pregnant 6 inch flesh eating spiders.
Are you sure you have the lid screwed on tight?

I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

Oh, truly? I'm so very happy that my fears were well founded then!
I'll make sure to put his jar in a safe! Why, if they can propagate so efficiently how soon until my little line is evolved enough to eat through glass?!
... Oh dear, what if they eat through the safe?
