Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. You should really know better. Running just makes them want to chase you more. |

Have you ever... Ever felt like this? How strange things happen, are you going Round the Twist Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? (Note: I have no involvement with the series, I just think it looks awesome) | |

Where you going to run to? You're never more than three feet from a spider. |

I was once asked what my favorite self defense weapon was. I was reminded of my old Beretta Jetfire. This one time, walking with my girlfriend in the woods... We encountered a bear. If I hadn't had my Jetfire I can honestly say the day would have ended badly. One shot to my girlfriend's knee and I was able to get away at a brisk walk. :3 (I kid, I kid. I've never owned a Jetfire) But seriously. Sometimes running is very effective, provided you can think on your feet and come up with a plan. The Doctor does nothing -but- run, and he's saved the world 784 times (and counting). |

It takes an average of forty-three muscles to frown, seventeen muscles to smile... But only three for proper trigger squeeze. Si vis pacem, para bellum. | |

Thanks for that. My arachnaphobia really didn't need the extra fuel. |

There are spiders in Australia that are so big, they practically have their own health bar and name plate. |

But not if you're dealing with carnivorous, hunting animals. Run, and you look like prey to them. The thing to do if you meet a bear, mountain lion, or other predator bigger than a shrew, is to display. Hold up your arms. If you have a jacket on, grab the sides and pull them outward. Look as BIG as you can. (I have never had to do this with a wild animal, but I once scared off a really mean dog by displaying -- I had on a full-length cloak. LOTS of display.) Then, once it backs off, you back away too, slowly. When you're a good distance away and the critter isn't following you, then turn and walk, not run, till you're well out of sight. |

I just did. The solifuges* (they're not really spiders, but another order of arachnid) can get up to about 12 inches, but, saith Wikipedia, "A number of urban legends exaggerate the size and speed of Solifugae, and their potential danger to humans, which is practically nil." _____ *The name means "those who flee from the sun," which considering they live in deserts, makes a whole lot of sense. |
