Crazy

[Spiderfoot]

You want to know something crazy?
I am a lab assistant with the Biology Dept. at Tyler Junior College in Texas and once a semester during Zo Lab I give a presentation on spiders and the instructor loves for me to show a little bit of Rick West's presentation on Spidermania where he and his friend eats Therphosa blondii with "peraroa?" and every body freeks when they see it. Any ways after the lab was over an older student come up to me and told me that he was working some place that they had dug 60 feet in the ground and after hearing water flow they pulled up a big piece of concreate and a spider and a scorpion come out, the crazy part of it is that they were 2-3 feet long! both the spider and scorpion he said that the T was squished and they chased the scorpion around and never caught it. Now is that a crazy story or what?
Spiderfoot.

they were probably a little excited and over estimated the length.
i don't remember the exact size, but that seems like it would be bigger than the limit on exoskeletal animals in earth gravity

That is what I had figured my self but he still thinks that they were that lg. There were people in the lecture class that said he swore they were that big. So.....

 

[cacoseraph]

that would be pretty awesome if they really were that big, though

definitely need a BIG cage for them

 

[Scorpendra]

those sizes are definitely exaggerated. i know scorpions are fast but really. and what squashed the T? no, wait; what could squish the T?

 

[Spiderfoot]

The tractor that pulled the piece of concrete up flattened the T.

Although i agree with you on the over estimating of the size, keep in mind that recently fossil records of a prehistoric millipede/centipede were found and indicated the creature was around 2 metres long.
