Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo

Ha. if/when you move to this city, I'd like to borrow that from you 
It's amazing how much tv can portray mis-understood creatures. It wasn't until I saw an episode of CSI where Grissom showed Nick Stokes his B. Smithi that I found out they weren't poisonous. I cant' remember where I picked up the notion that a tarantula will 'spit' hair at you when it's aggravated, but I think it was on TV. The movie Arachnophobia made me think that all tarantulas were instantly lethal (I was younger and didn't hear the freak-hybridization part).
It's amazing how many "Facts" you will disprove if you only do a little research.
