Nope, no spiders here. If any of our family remembers brought home one, I'd immediatly Raid it or find some other painful way of death for it. I don't like spiders...

+1.

As far as "insect-type" creatures go, they seem quite intelligent.

(I know that they're not insects)

Its setting stuff on fire it doesnt matter much what it is, one day I hope to have a flamethrower to finish that childhood love of fire I have.

I must agree, setting stuff on fire is fun. I just lit a candle earlier today...I know I'd find some use for a flamethrower if I had one...

I use to catch them when I lived in Arkansas along with scorpions. I did not keep them as pets. Got stung 7 times by one scorpion that made it's way into my bed.

Spiders make me a-scared.

I think if I saw one of them big ass things in my house, I'd yell, "You are a threat and I'm in fear of my life."  What would follow would be a few nice days patching holes in my walls.

Had one for a pet as a teenager.  (WTF was I thinking?)  I stuck my hand down in there once and it lurched at me.  I slammed the lid shut and never opened it again.

 Method of Termination: Spiders die when they are sucked up by vacuum cleaners, right? RIGHT?
