Nope because he's holding it and pointing at it.

Maybe they're some type of new Iraq super soldier? Able to crawl into any American pig's base to kill them? I personally find it a little hard to believe... I mean, that's like the super sized cat some old guy is holding up in some image I've seen.

It's just not real.

I dont know, but it was wierd and massive...

American pig's?

Camel spiders do exist, however, I don't think they're as big as dinner plates.

Anyway, here's a link to see what they actually look like.

Ya thats first picture is kinda what it looked like I couldnt really tell you though it was curled in a ball.... but it was massive.

American pig's

I was merely using Iraq terminology...

Me? I couldn't care less.

Hey... that image looks like two are connected. Almost like the spider has two sets of pincer teeth/fang/things...? Up the top and then in toward the middle. See?

I think it's a fake and is two joined together!

Edit: Turns out it is two... read the articles, Vance!

Yeah the first image is the one I saw in a magazine, the one with 2 attached to eachother.

Scary shit.

Bloody pests, I say. I kill any and all I find, heh. (Yes. I quite often frequent the deserts of Bahgdad to camel spider hunt.)

It'll give you a better idea of what our troops are dealing with.

...and camel spiders are a concern, why?

"Omg! Camel spider! Forget the bad men with guns. Kill that damn thing instead, it's freakin' me out!"

Honestly, there will always be something bigger and more evolved out there - it's, like, the law of nature. Soon there very well could be giant mutated spiders the size of houses.

So make a thread aboot it...

God I hope not
