    WTF, it would be "Shots fired, Shots fired" after I knocked it of my arm ofcourse!

    Knowing what part of the country you are in would help. I dont thinks it is a Orb family though.

    We have those. They have live birth of thousands of babies. I try to kill them before that happens. I know spiders are an important part of the ecosystem but...

    I heard somewhere if it weren't for spiders, we couldn't breath the air outside.

    I tried to find that white spider and got weird feelings while looking at hundreds of pictures of spiders. I had to abort! :s:)

    I HATE MOST SPIDERS, but the little hairy jumping spiders don't bother me one bit for some odd reason. Maybe since I can't see their little short legs moving, I don't care about them.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    On my way home from work this happened about 6 cars in front of me. Myself and a nurse ran up and wouldn't you k ow I did not have my knife on me. I hear the 60+ year old screaming 'get me out of here". I yell for a knife and someone hands me a really freeking shard Benchmade knife. I cut the seatbelt and the guy drops. He starts to crawl out the passenger side but I see somehow he is tangled in some pipe and metal rod from the fence he took out. Myself and the nurse thought it had pierced through him. A little looking around we see it is not in him. I remove the metal and he gets out. He seemed ok and the medics took off with him. Made me realize I dont have a proper first aid kit in the car. First thing I looked for was leaking gas. Thank god we did not have that problem.

    He rolled about 3 times and ended up in the fast lane on the other side of the hwy. He was lucky no one hit him.

    I guess he just lost control. I did not see any other cars involved.

    Well done sir! Good Samaritan you are! And, I love my Benchmade collection! Glad he was allright, and you and the nurse were there to step in.

    The problem with those is that when your feet are cold, they take a long time to warm up. :o

    Confirmed: it IS a Bolas spider (I spelled it wrong originally), and they ARE part of the Orb family.

    @Tony M jumping spiders are the schizz, my favorite by far since you can easily handle them with out fear of a bite, and watching them hunt is surreal.

    (most likely) it's a Bolo spider, part of the orb Weaver group.

    What part of the country are you in?

    I have spent over 1,000 days & nights in Paris over the years, for both professional and recreational pursuits, and yet, I have never been to the famous catacombs. Fascinating!

    We used to dream o'livin' in a septic field

    Me, too... It takes all four seasons to make the year.
    I think my favorite is summer, though -- summer is brief but intense, and worth waiting for :)
