Well, at work today I was telling someone about my pets...(Of course, everyone thinks I'm a freak, but hey...I guess it's the price you pay for being smarter than the average idiot -- Sorry, I don't hold much love for people who aren't willing to look at them and realize they're harmless) When she came up with a story that..well..you'll see.
Basically, she said her husband's friend used to live in Texas. He heard this story (It supposedly happened while he lived there *cough*bs*cough*) that some guy was sun bathing in his backyard. He felt something crawling on him and slapped it, killing it in the process. (Without knowing it was a tarantula.)
Nothing suprising, right? Well..Here's where it gets bad. Supposedly, all of the other tarantulas (Because they all live together in big colonies, of course) came to it's defense (That or they used their wonderful sense of smell that they use to hunt food down) and basically covered the man, killing him with their bites.
Sorry if this is unreadable, it's late and I just got off of work. Just makes me mad that idiots spread such nonsense.
