Under water sea spiders ..Oh My

[Luke]

Well now i have seen everything a new report about vampire spiders that live underwater....

I quote:


"They have a proboscis that's like a straw that they insert into the animals and suck out the juices," says Arango.

Haha another reason for people to be afraid of the oceans... now theres "spiders" in the water too, now these sea spiders are going to make jaws look like a kitty cat

[Luke]

[Luke]

They suck their victims like vampires and scientists don't really know what they are!!!

[paintz]

Hmm, I wonder if you can buy them anywhere :) would be cool for an aquarium :D

[the.doctor]

Careful, kittens are very dangerous creatures. I wouldn't stick my hand near one.

yeah im not scared of swimming because of it because i don't generally enjoy swimming in artic degrees. I'm more interested by the fact that scienctists don't know what they are....

Thats why there could be a pandemic on "Sea Spiders" who knows they could beable to devour humans in some old myth people will start telling us about and people will beleive it.

[DemonSpawn77]

If you could buy these I'd so put one in someone's toilet. Imagine seeing a vampiric spider in your john...

[paintz]

The thought of having a spider crawling up ur ass cheeks while taking a dump is going to give me nightmares, not cause its just any old spider its a vampiric spider.

[Luke]

yeah its pretty bad but luckly i think they can only sruvive at icelandic temperatures :D

[Hdarim]

I want one for a pet.

[paintz]

Hmm I wonder what eats sea spiders...

next time I go to a seafood joint im going to search the menu for sea spider.

I could just imagine a waiter/waitress' reaction to someone ordering a sea spider as a meal. OH LAWD!

[Hacky]

Scarry sea spiders of death :(

But really, that is quite frightening.

[Crack Monk]

I did a Google Image search, and immediately regretted it. Urk.

[paintz]

Those links with info on them as well as pictures wasnt enough for you? :P

[EmeraldFalcon89]

Why is everyone making a fuss about "vampiric?" Mosquitoes are "vampiric." What would you think if you were told that there were swarms of vampiric aggressive insects on your campground? Probably something worse than if a guy said, "Get some Off, there's mosquitoes down there."

Regular spiders are "vampiric" as well.

[DemonSpawn77]

It's just a weird animal, that's all. Vampiric spiders that live under water are a tad different from your every day mosquito.

[Rab]

WHAT ARE GTHEY HIDING DOWN THERE????????

[paintz]

I should start an expedition, ill name it "The hunt For The 30 ft. Sea Spider" maybe it will make it on the discovery channel or something.

Kageoni, thats one evil kitten, but imagine a vampiric spider biteing your fingers off?

[Hacky]

Yeah, but this report makes it seem like these fuckers are the type to grab your leg while you're out for a swim and take a nice portion of your blood before you manage to escape them.

Yes, but you never know. There could be one of those giant ones out there somewhere, seeing as theres giant snakes, squids you name it.

[Zandrel]

You sir get double brownie points for using Azumanga Daioh. But back on topic, I spot a perfect candidate for a 8 Legged Freaks sequel. 8 Legged Freaks II: Attack of the Vampire Spiders!

Lmao for some reason that wouldn't suprise me, and I bet it would be as bad as the first.

[invrse]

SHOUTWIRE IS A FUCKING RIP OFF OF DIGG.COM.

[Fierce Deity]

It's a god damn spider, it won't attack your face if you look at it wrong. Here is proof:

The last time I checked, no one swims in the arctic recreationally, especially at that depth. So why are you all being pussies about it? That guy in the picture seems to be in perfect condition. He is even smiling slightly, implying that his face is not being vampirically raped, unless he is some sick mesochist fuck. Don't swim in the Arctic if you don't like them.

They are quite interesting, too bad not much is known about them.

[Culex]

I hate spiders so much, they seriously creep me out...eheh.

[snypercore]

thats some wierd shit

[Evonus]

I smell hollywood magic brewing. But seriously they're not really that big. They have every skinny torsos so chances are they don't need to suck much blood.
