To hear the wav again hit refresh    A Story For My Friend  (An American - T.K. ) Who HATES Spiders!  This happened tonight while I was dishing up our meal. Panic! Panic! From George, who pushed by me, not caring that I had a hot pot in my hand. I asked him (or perhaps I should say, I yelled at him) what on earth is the matter? "A spider, a spider - I have to get rid of it" ..... Now usually I have to do this, because he hates them, if I was unkind I would say he is scared of them. When I chase them with a broom I usually have to yell to take my mind off the ugly, furry things. Now I am not talking of an itsy bitsy spider but a "SPIDER" He grabbed the fly spray and bolted, I knew I would have to follow him because he thinks one little spray will do the job, and I KNOW that you have to "drown" them. Sure enough he was happy with the 'minute' spraying but I took over and "drowned" it, or so I thought.... G then pushed it into the waste paper basket..... Ha Ha!! it had started crawling up the side already!!! "Oh stop worrying" said G "it will be dead in a minute"... Ha Ha!! again, it was very much alive and almost crawled on to G, I could be cruel and say he nearly "disgraced" himself. He left the room after crushing it with paper....Ha Ha AGAIN!! .... It started up the side once more, so I followed him, nearly killing myself laughing. Well I won't say what he said to me as I shoved the basket under his nose, where the awful eyes of the spider glared at him. Wow .... he finally gathered himself together, grabbed a tin and crushed it. Now I can hear you thinking...what on earth can this spider be like so I surfed and found a couple of photos and here they are..... I know you LOVE spiders too Ha Ha!!!..... Gee I am having fun. *grin*
		The Huntsman Spider One of the largest spiders found in Australia. These spiders are also known as 'tarantulas' or 'giant crab spiders'. Their leg-span may become 16 cm. (About 6 1/2 inches) They have a flattened body, which allow them to find shelter between loosened bark. They have eight eyes set in two rows of four.
