Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Re: Guyanese Giant Spiders
Oh yeah, read about those little cuties the other day. It's certainly an impressive size for an arachnid.
An interesting spider story told to me by one of the guys in my gaming group, who is completely phobic about spiders. A mate of his ask fr his help in removing sheet metal from a shed in a partly overgrown back yard. After they've moved a couple of sheets of metal, his mate, who is apparently some 6'5", told him to slowly remove his had from the sheet of metal they were about to take down. Why? There was a huge spider. Brazilian blue tarantula. Must have been an escaped pet, as well, they're not native to Australia. My mate decided to call it a day and go home. Not that I don't blame him.

Can't blame him; I'd be screaming into the next district.
