Hey Maz, how about a cute puppy to come home to?

Spoiler[quote=](This article is written poorly): Piotr Naskrecki, an Entomologist and wildlife photographer, was just taking a night walk in a rainforest in Guyana, which proved to be adventurous when he head rustling sound, as if something were creeping underfoot. Just when he turned on his flashlight, he saw a puppy-sized animal rustling around.

To his sheer excitement the creature turned out to be a goliath spider, which was enough to get the entomologist was excited in documenting the incredible animal.

“When I turned on the light, I couldn’t quite understand what I was seeing,” Naskrecki, from Harvard University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, explained.

Also known as the South American Goliath birdeater (Theraphosa blondi), this huge arachnid is supposedly the world’s largest spider, according to Guinness World Records. The leg span of this spider can reach up to a foot (30 centimeters), or about the size of “a child’s forearm,” with a body the size of “a large fist,” Naskrecki claimed. What’s more, the spider can weigh more than 6 oz. (170 grams) — about as much as a young puppy, the scientist further explained on his blog.[/quote]

Think you could teach it to roll over?

Nope

That's wrong on so many levels but I want one anyway.

Too much thinking is bad for you anyway, beer keeps that from happening.

Congratulations! Knock 'em dead!

Or maybe just unconscious, depending on your tastes.

Let us know how it goes!

Also yeah, make sure to tell him that your internet friends are keeping a very close eye on him. I'm sure he'll be shaking in his boots.

About as much of a circus as I expected. My sister, my cousin, and I all spent the majority of it heavily intoxicated (as soon as we walked into the reception we ordered a round of tequila shots). So that part was fun. The part with the women 10+ years older than me hitting on me, however, wasn't really.

Side note: If you're in Vegas I would definitely recommend hitting up Toby Keith's. The bar itself is kind of ******, but they serve really strong drinks in a huge mason jar. So that was cool, especially when I didn't pay for the drinks.

lolgaxe, your daughter's future dating life is going to be interesting.

yup

Yeah, you know when Allakhazam left the place still had a good amount of life left in it so it didn't feel so bad. I mean it did, but it wasn't like this. This just sucks in too many ways. Waiting to surf here one day and find the forum gone. Hopefully /r/Forum4 will catch on in that case...

What's different with it?

Yeah that live view thing has screwed up my participation in discussion many times. I'll realize after like 2 hours that's frozen, and in that time there was plenty of stuff I'd have responded to. Other times when it's just blank, well it obviously isn't useful.
