Important point: Digit's a girl!

And, Amanda is missing an opportunity here. Why buy mass-produced hair nets, when you could have a friend weave you a custom bespoke model?

Spider-silk hair nets seem a tad bit... overkill... Don't you think?
Also, to be honest, I don't know why I assumed Digit was a male. It's a big spider (females tend to be bigger in the arthropod world), and it's Wapsi friggin Square. Grrl Power doesn't even have a more female-dominated cast.

*blink blink*
If they did, I bow down to their superior entomological abilities. And I bow down to Paul's amazing research just so he could draw the spider right.
Personally, unless I am willing to spend a month on a drawing, the best spider I can do is two circles and eight lines in roughly the right position to be kinda-spider-shaped.
Gimme a month, though, and I can probably make something pretty ok.

Arachnid not insect.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

The other half informs me that they do not overestimate the size of spiders. The one she found in the kitchen the other day for instance was at lest the size of a dinner plate, the one outside the door was even bigger. Yes when they try to describe arachnophobia they use her as a reference.

Well, the Authorities are very clear that it's not a good idea to buy your kids baby chicks, or baby bunnies, as Easter-time pets. They aren't so much fun when they grow up.oldmanmickey wrote:The other half informs me that they do not overestimate the size of spiders.

Building on that advice, I'd recommend that you not acquire any baby camel spiders.

There's another short story where they side with us against the insect. I can't seem to find which sci-fi anthology it's in right now.Lee M wrote:The spiders are not insectsGlytchMeister wrote:*clamps mouth shut*lake_wrangler wrote:I, for one, would like to welcome our new insect overlords...

I remember that they refer to themselves as "eaters".

I've got one the size of a silvr dollar wintering in my kitchenette. I don't bug her, she don't bug me.oldmanmickey wrote:The other half informs me that they do not overestimate the size of spiders.

Spiders and I don't get along... I've been places with some pretty fucked up species of NOPE. Banana spiders in Korea, Tarantulas in Arizona, Black Widows and Brown Recluse and Scorpions in Louisiana, Camel Spiders in Iraq and Kuwait... as long as they stay out of my space, they may live. In my space? NOPE becomes no more.
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?
Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

isn't that the one where Humanity was actually the "primitive" descendants of some super high tech spacer's that when they landed on Earth it was already inhabited by mega-huge colonies of ANTS, and both species got into a war that left them and us as in the state of affairs we are in now and that we created the spiders to take them out and that this one guy somehow could hear them communicating?Gyrrakavian wrote:There's another short story where they side with us against the insect.
