Black Widows Spiders

[Cobra412]

The Mojave Greens have been out alot here at my work.  Suprisingly enough the dang things aren't scared of chit.  The one had recently come around came right up to our secure entrance gate.  Some goof didn't think nothing of it and just walked right by it.  The very next day we got a message warning that the Mojave Greens were running around.

Ahhh ty!

When he said "running" around, I naturally dismissed the critter as being a snake.  

I've never been bitten by a rattler, I imagine it would be quite painful... make you sick?

Take a look at this Western Diamondback bite to see what kind of consequences a bite may have.

Ok, back on subject.


BRING THE P-61 TO AHII!!!!!

The scary thing is with some of the research I've done on the Mojave "Green" Rattler is that it is anywhere from 10 to 20 times more deadly than any of the rattler species.

To think that the Western Diamondback did that much damage and the fact it's not the most lethal is rather alarming.  I couldn't imagine getting hit by a Mojave Rattler.  The one major difference though from what I'm getting is the Mojave rattler won't cause that kind of localized damage.

From what I've been taught, the bite of a Mojave Rattler isn't nearly as painful as the bite of a Sidewinder.

 Who is the artist who did that? I had a book of paintings when I was a kid and that was one. Wasnt it a group?


What was the book title?

I was bitten by a spider about 4 years ago, don't know what kind it was but I will never forget the experience.

I was getting the lawnmower dusted off and put my hand under the mower to inspect the blades. About an hour later I noticed a white spot on my left hand that began itching. I became very thirsty so I went to get some water in the kitchen.

I remember opening the refridgerator and seeing the light inside as VERY blury. I layed down on the couch and became very dizzy and nausious...then drowsey.

I woke up about 3 am and my head felt like it was going to explode. I walked out the front door to get some air and as I opened the door, our cat bolted into the house ( she often did this) and it scared the crap out of me. I jumped forward and up to get over the cat and it was then I noticed. I had jumped alright, but I now found myself about maybe 30 feet in the air as a result.

I landed hard, but vigerously and looked down upon my hands, both trembling. I had, in fact, become spiderman and nothing would be the same for me ever since.

Lucky bastage.   Kirsten Dunst is a hotty.... one fantastic rack on that slut.

Spider venom and snake venom can also make you paranoid and imagine all sorts of things. Make you even hear things etc...

edit: nevermind

<-- stupid

[NUKE]

Nah, that never happened.... I made it all up.

Reminds me of the time I was riding my horse, Dusty and something felt lose in the saddle. I looked down, and *poof* the horse disapeared and I was now riding on the back of the very sexy Stacey, Steve's wife. Steve was in a butler's outfit, minus the pants and was pouring me a glass of whine.
