Kill, Then Ask Questions


So We learned something about spiders in the past few weeks here in Savannah. We had to kill, and then have nightmares about it first, but now we are more knowledgeable people. And less moral. We killed a whole family of big and ugly, but none the less friendly Huntsman spiders. I hope it was the whole family. First the male, then about two weeks later (last night) the female, and she was carrying her freaking eggsack! The little suckers were crawling out as she darted in front of me. These monsters (2cm bodies, 10cm leg diameter, 3cm eggsack with 200 babies) eat cockroaches and other small vermin that might want to live in your house, so we really shouldn't have killed them. But this is our home! We sleep here! We carouse around naked for god's sake! After a little research, they were probably here first (they live up to five years), so this was really their home. But this is how I feel about that: Manifest Destiny, a-holes.
