Thats enough for me. Our only solution for Iraq now is to nuke the whole place.
It is the only way to be sure those mutant spiders do not take over the world.
-
oh my freaking god...Pull out guys out right now and let loose with all the non conventional weapons we have. I am the worlds biggest arachniphobic (sp?) and i will now have nightmares for a long time. God bless our troops for all the unforseen horrors i could have never imagined.
-
Camel spiders! Hate em LOL.
Mostly harmless, but put on a great show if you throw them in a box with a scorpion.
-
A little info, if you wish. (http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp)
-
Be sure to read down the page about the urban legend part. They're not as bad as they look. But man, do they look bad! :eek:
-
Yeah, my bro has stories about those.
Build a "ring of fire", toss in a skorpion and a camel spider, take your bets.
-
Looks like one of those face grabbing aliens from the Alien movies... :eek:
-

Ugh...think happy thoughts...boobies...airplane s...boobies...ahhh better.

You have no idea what eight legged horrors await you...
Time: 1500
Place: MCB Quantico, VA
The exchange:
"Saur, you make yourself a comfy little bed there instead of providing security?"
"No sir?"
"Saur, the enemy knows where we are now because you moved all the leaves out from underneath you."
"I saw a tick, sir."
Second time I saw an officer above O-3 try, unsuccessfully, not to laugh.

yikes

well i have one. back when i was in the army my battalion was sent to relieve the 11th ACR from border patrol so they could go to graf to do their gunnery. not the whole infantry battalion but one company plus support. support was cooks, medics and of course the scout platoon, which i was in. when i was on react there was this grunt sgt. who was in the 101 when he was in the sinai peacekeep operation there. he told me one of those things got into some guys fartsack at night. there is an anithestic to there venom. the guy woke up to find a bigass spider in his fartsack and a orange sized chunk missing out of his leg. i guess hes lucky it didnt eat his boys.
-
got stung by a scorpion once - hurt like bejsus, however there was a cure!!! Place stung toe into boiling water!!! oh great!
-
ugh....gee lucky i'm majorly arachnophobic :(

-

-
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! KILL'EM!!!!!!!!!!FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KILL"EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those things must weigh 4 lbs...... :(
-

-
Golfer, ever saw the 'Arachnophobia' movie? Can't stand spiders myself... that movie didn't help, lol
-
Now we know the real reason you europeans dont want to go to Iraq... :D
-
Nah thats not the reason Grun...its all that sand..its gets into everything ;)

Camel spiders are supposed to be hybred Spider/Scorpion. We had some containers and a crane return from Iraq and they had some of them onboard! Eeek! They can do 30mph and jump about 7ft high.

Those guys have grenades and that thing is still alive WTF ?¿?

I say we pull out and nuke the whole site from orbit.
-
Hort
I agree, it's the only way to be sure.
-
lol Hort...."we" :D
-
Your not getting the reference Nilson?
-
i swear i will never go anywhere with bug that freakin' huge... omg, that looks like it could eat my dog, and then some!!!!!!:eek:
-
Is anyone else itchy right now, or is it just me.
Thanks for the nightmare's that will certainly follow....
BTW, for you fellow arachnophobes...do you know what spider has the most deadly venom to humans?
Daddy Long legs. The only reason they dont kill people is because their fangs are too small to bite us.
That's what I heard, anyway.

I was stationed at Quantico From 91 to 94 I never saw a tick... I saw millions of them...
The exchange:
Jam: Hey er sarge what kind of gay arse unit is this and why are all the NCO's putting on pantyhose.
Sarge: Pvt you and your wife are in for a big treat.
Jam: What the heck is going on and why is everyone laughing?
Sarge: Get some sleep Pvt you will see in the morning.
Morning came low crawling to an ambush site in a field of 2 foot tall grass. I swear they were everywhere by the millions. Wife was pulling ticks out of my arse for hours. Found 1 a week later.
Needless to say was wearing pantyhose the next time out...

I see Nielsen is hard at work to win the "most-anal-BBposter-of-the-year"-award this year too.
-
*sigh*
-
we had them in afganistan, i caught one and put it in a snuff can with some permeth thinking that it would kill him. 2 days later i was teaching some guys about the local critters and i opened the cope can and the damn thing was still alive. gave him a quick bath in lighter fluid and that did the trick. ive heard that when they bite you it can be treated but every year after the bite (to the day) you have to get it treated again. Fu&^ awhole lot of that.
-
Geesh, I don't care if that picture is real or not, just looking at it makes me want to crawl into a plastic bubble for the rest of my life. I HATE spiders. I shouldn't have opened this thread, my blood pressure is high enough as it is... *shudder*
-
Wow and i thought June Beetles and fire crackers were fun.

The bastards used to bite THROUGH the BDU's on occassion. They couldnt get to skin, but you had to admire the effort - couldnt stand the little ****ers.
Better than that, however, were the nightly 'collections' of those huge assed spiders that would set up shop every night in the squad bay windows...
-
Camel Spiders, Sun Spiders, Wind Scorpions... all the same... we have 'em here.
They're little miniature land sharks, absolutely voracious and completely fearless. Found one on my porch... he was about three inches long... he raised his legs and charged at me. Too funny...
Here's some more info: http://www.solpugid.com/index.htm

Nuke the gawdam spiders. Blow them off the face of this planet striaght to spider hell. All the more reason.
In this position I'd be the guy baiting these suckers with a fat juicy camel in a tree with a box full of grenades and a sniper rifle blasting this insects to peices. I would be fighting a whole nother war I can say that right now.
Deploy the Terminex units to Iraq immedietly. If its not the freakin iraqis shooting our soldiers 3ft insects running their own operations biting our troops. Go to the terminex site to enlist:p
-
and after you had killed of all those poor spiders you would have to start on the scorpions and other nice things that those spiders feed on :p
got enough ammo for that :D
-
No ammo would go to waste my friend. Ill kill all those SOB's. If all else fails, ill grab a stick and finished what I started. A very large, large stick. More like a log. Nothing a few branches, a lil gasoline and a crazy man waving around this flaming branch could not take care of! *HA HA HA HA HA*

Maybe your dick is bigger than mine - but that aint funny to me. If some damn 3 inch shark-spider thing came running at me at 35MPH Id be screaming like a little girl.

Oh no, I just knew something that the bug didn't. He wasn't strong enough to resist the pressure of my foot. He went squish. :D

Omg.. those things are nasty!
I'd be running , with my gun on full auto, into the Taliban Camps to get away!
Better bullets than those!
