I was talking to my "cubicle buddy" about this thread, and she was quite interested. She's an odd one. She wanted to go into forensic science for the longest time.

Anyway, she was telling me that when she was a kid, she and her parents lived in Australia, which evidently has the largest share of venemous spiders in the world. She was telling me how they also had perfectly harmless spiders, but they grew to enormous sizes. Apparently we're talking about the exact same spiders from "Aracnaphobia", and she'd see these in her bathroom regularly.

No thanks.
