A thread to post anything that's on your mind, anything at all. Is the glow cloud fizzling too loudly? Are there spiders everywhere? Are you beginning to think that the insects are conspiring against us, and plotting to overthrow Obama and turn America into a giant beehive, and Europe into a giant ant colony? Worried about the nefarious plans of the Queen of the Bees? Who knows, with this thread, the possibilities are endless! Here is a thread to talk about anything. In the jolly words of the dwarf NPCs from WoW, "What's on yer mind?"

There are definitely spiders everywhere. If you can't see them then they're probably on your shoulder. Nope, the other shoulder. You just missed it that time.

I can't imagine how people in places like Australia, South Africa and Texas deal with the constant fear of horrible, dangerous venomous spiders constantly being around. Especially in somewhere like Brazil, where they have spiders the size of dinner plates. And in Texas, where people get nests of Black Widows in their sheds and garages, and in their lofts! I definitely wanna go visit the jungle somewhere in the world, at some point, but as an arachnophobe from a country where all the dangerous wild creatures were hunted to extinction long ago, I'd probably be a quaking mess in a place where there actually are legitimately dangerous wild animals just roaming around. I remember one time when I was younger and I went to one of those places where they let you hold stuff like snakes, scorpions and tarantulas. I had no problem holding the scorpion in my hand, but I would not hold the tarantula. I like snakes though.

I had no problem holding the scorpion in my hand, but I would not hold the tarantula. I like snakes though. Well I'll give some firsthand experience for Australian spiders: It's really not that bad. I guess in the outback areas and more rural areas of the country, I used to live on a farm and there were spiders everywhere. Specifically white-tails and red-backs which are deadly and on the plus side tiny. But in 15 years I only ever saw 1 of each. I now live in the suburbs close to the city of Melbourne and I haven't seen a spider in years. I'll tell you what though, the worst spider is the least deadly with the worst name and most frightening to see - The Huntsman. They get generally the size of your palm and can get up to about 7 or 8 inches from what I've seen, they are brown and hairy and still scare me to death. And I don't care if its not fair to judge something by its looks, science can tell me they're not deadly. But one look and you know they're up to something sinister. Anyway, I didn't know I knew this much about Australian spiders. And now all I can think about is spiders. Speaking of spiders, I HATE centipedes. I hate them. They are evil and don't tell me any different. So here's a story: One day I was on my way to work and occasionally felt something tickle my shin, but I assumed it was a thread. Then when I got to my desk I grabbed some scissors to cut it, rolled up my leg and found a centipede curled up in the hem of my pants. Luckily I get into the office before everyone else so nobody heard me sceam and wail. And I now have a fear of putting on pants. I keep them all on coathangers, and give them a big shake and check before wearing them. Moral of the story is maybe come to Australia if you want, but don't wear pants.

Come to think of it now, I'm pretty sure it was talking about ranchers, since I recall seeing stuff in the news about Australian farmers being really badly affected by drought. Or is that all complete nonsense? As a side-note, I'm pretty sure the documentary I think I remember this from is Human Planet, from the BBC. Are centipedes the armoured ones, that get really big? Or is that millipedes? I forget which is which. I remember many times in sixth form, I (out of nowhere!) would find a centipede just crawling all up on my arm, or one that had been hanging out all day on my bag. No idea why, but maybe it was the tree that my group of friends used to hang out under. Have you ever seen that David Attenborough where they show that centipede/millipede that eats bats? Think this might be the one: I think the all-powerful scientists should just concoct some kind of Australia-proof suit, that enables the wearer to avoid attacks by spiders, sharks, crocodiles, snakes, jellyfish, crazy venom fish, and Kaiju. Oh yeah, and the suit should be reflective somehow, in order to stave off sunburn.

I've always been told brown recluses are the ones you really need to watch out for, though of course they're not exclusive to Texas. Growing up on acreage outside a city here, my biggest fear has always been snakes. My dad killed a lot of copperheads and rattlesnakes on the property when my parents first built their house, and to this day I will not swim in lakes because of being traumatized by being chased by water moccasins in Possum Kingdom Lake. I'm also creeped out by scorpions but luckily I've only seen dead ones.

I'm also creeped out by scorpions but luckily I've only seen dead ones. Where I heard about the nests of black widows from is this video game podcast actually, since the host is from Austin. I remember this one time I saw this strange ball of stuff like nothing I'd seen before on the shed in the garden, so I poked at it to see what it was. I immediately jolted back, shuddering like never before, when from this ball of strange stuff hundreds, no, thousands of tiny creepy spiders started crawling away in all directions. It was like an eruption of spiders. Holy shit though, I never realized before that there are vipers in the lakes in Texas that chase people! That's crazy. When I say I like snakes, I only mean the ones that can't harm you more than say a dog or something can harm you. I remember from watching Crocodile Hunter that there's this snake in the Outback in Australia, that has enough venom to kill more than 100 people with one bite. The King Brown snake or something, I think? And in Indonesia, in Borneo, there's a python that can grow to be more than 30 ft long. I don't know how people like the Aborigines and the tribes in Borneo live in places like that, especially those tribes deep in the Amazon where the men often wear nothing but like a thong or something. Another thing I learnt from TV is that the smaller the scorpion, the more dangerous it is. I think I learnt that from watching Survivorman. Man, that was an awesome show.

You want Australian spider stories? I got your Australian spider stories. Suburban Sydney is the place to be. One time I was leaving for work in the morning, leaned down to grab my bag, glanced up and saw that my bedroom ceiling was covered in about 100 baby spiders which had hatched at some point after I had fallen asleep. Were they there all night? Were they there whilst I was getting ready for work? I don't know and I don't WANT to know. I just left and told my room-mate that she should let off a few bug bombs around the house because I was going to stay with my parents for a few days. My parents' house which was much safer. There I had only grabbed a Huntsman spider whilst fumbling for a light-switch in the dark.

Australian farmers are often very poor as the weather can have such a massive impact on their income. There are several charities for supporting farmers, especially around Christmas where there is such a high rate of suicide amongst the farming community. My work, for example, runs a charity drive where we donate small gifts for farming families who may not be able to afford Christmas presents for their kids.

My work, for example, runs a charity drive where we donate small gifts for farming families who may not be able to afford Christmas presents for their kids. Ohhhh yeah that makes more sense. Farmers all around the world always seem to be some of the poorest people, unfortunately. In the UK, Cornwall is one of the poorest, if not the poorest, county, and the economy there is mainly farming and tourism I'm pretty sure. I think Cornwall was, a few years ago, one of the poorest regions in the EU, since it got some special funding from the EU to improve things there, which was good. I didn't know about the really high suicide rate among Australian farmers. That sounds pretty awful. Another place where I heard of there being a really high suicide rate, that I didn't really expect, is Greenland. And Greenland's also technically a part of Denmark- the happiest country (supposedly) in the world. But I've also heard that Greenland has a high proportion of gun possession, as a result of the Inuit's traditional hunting practises and stuff like that, and also seasonal affective disorder is probably a problem there, considering where it is in the world. But in some good news related to farmers, I heard a while ago that some Colombian farmers who have had their crops destroyed and damaged because of evil corporations were able to actually take on those corporations, in a big court case in London. As someone from outside Australia, even though poverty is everywhere, I wouldn't have expected a lot of extreme or dire poverty in Australia, really. Then again, I also would have thought that Australia wouldn't have violent crime in the scale that countries like America might, but I've heard that there are loads of biker gangs there and that there's a lot of crime among the Aborigine community, and that Aborigine people make up a really disproportionate percentage of Australia's prison population, unfortunately. Cowboys! Yeah, it was cowboys I was thinking of. Whatever programme it was was talking about how Australian cowboys are millionaires, and have to use helicopters to herd their cattle, rather than horses, since they own thousands and thousands of cattle, and their ranches are so expansive and huge. Damn, I feel pretty bad about being so ignorant of the Australian farmers' situation.

Some Australians get on their high-horse when talking about racism and violence in places like America when in reality we have done and are still doing awful things to the indigenous population here. It's astounding that we can conveniently look over our own violent and exploitative history and current inequality whilst talking about other countries. I love my country but we do tend to put on a good front and pretend that we're happier than we are. (Welp, this got serious quickly)

Yeah, this really did get kinda serious quickly. Maybe a lighter subject would be better, like... cats? Or how about wheat, and it's by-products? Or Carlos the Scientist with his perfect, luscious, glorious golden locks of immaculate hair! Yes, let's all take a moment to think about how perfect Carlos the Scientist is. Is there anyone as smart and dashing as Carlos? No, of course not... that would be blasphemy, almost.

My favorite band is making a new album after 10 years apart! www.nme.com/news/the-libertines/81560I went to see the reunion gig at Reading in 2010. I couldn't make it over for Hyde Park this past summer, but I will definitely do all I can to get over to see them if they tour off the back of the new album. So nice to see them all looking happy in the photos - as a Libs fan I'm pretty much used to tragedy and despair with this band so hopefulness is a weird emotion.
