  This thread is absolutely hilarious! Thanks for starting it, OP, I was having one of those days, definitely needed the laugh (and a
special thanks for the contained-spider pic/post from SystemiK).
However, on somewhat more of a serious note (and no offense intended at all, dirkboy, this just caught me off-guard), who really knows
what Mahmoud is up to over there to have The Decider & Co. so upset that they want to crash Iran? . . apparently elsewhere
the human-cow embryo project is
well-underway.
Perhaps the minotaur was not just an ancient Greek myth.
Genetically-modified spiders?
Why not? . . we are increasingly being force-fed cloned/genetically-modified food, so I've heard (and it sometimes tastes like) . . .

lol I hope this is real so I have something to be excited about, maybe I'll keep one as a pet. I'd also like to know how spiders would make webs in
the air when there is nothing to support them.

WUKKY: yes i can easily see this as something you'd conceive

Ok, I was doing a little research on the Giant Spiders, and I think I found proof that they do exist.
I found this picture.
Then I found this picture.
This has me a little scared, maybe this thing can handle the creatures.
I guess only time will tell.

Quick tell uncurious george... he's looking for an excuse to start another war.
Remote viewing is as good intelligence as anything we got on Iraq.  
Spare me.

I've been called a disinfo-agent and debunker a lot lately, so I'm going to agree!
THE THREAT IS REAL!
Well you should have trusted your instincts (and knowledge of arachnids) because you are right. It is physiologically impossible to have a giant
spider (I mean giant-giant) because of the exoskeleton and then the breathing issue.
You still may be a dis-info though.
The Chickenhawks are now appealing to the Sci-fi crowds?

What I already provided proof that they do exist. Just check the images I posted.
I don't know id Iran is the inventors, but they do exist.
EDIT: One line post.

I hear they are going to unleash giant spiders on Tel Aviv. We have got to attack them with our own giant roaches before they do this.

Sorry, guys I couldn't help it.
This is by far the funniest topic I've seen in a while.
I say we should also bring democracy to the spiders if we get the chance.

the giant spider sculpture was very cool. kudos to the city for allowing such a cool installment. (could be some great photo ops on a foggy day,
evening, etc.)
also to the poster that talks about the spiders respiratory system, in light of how they couldn't get that large; there's also the "tinsel
strength" issue. most likely the structure of an arachnid that large would just collapse on itself just fighting gravity.
by far the kookiest article in ATS history.

John Goodman is probably available to kick some arachnid ass....he was pretty tough in "Arachniphobia"
Dale Gribble could probably get the job done too....

I hate it, I simply HATE it when people steal my evil ideas and try to implement them with their feeble HUMAN brains. Mad Science is a delicate art
form. One must be a genius and completely insane for the unspeakable horrors developed in our labs to work.
While I am sure the Iranian government has some fine mad scientists, they simply cannot understand the full implications that a giant radioactive
spider would cause on a world stage.
Now the fundamental problem with giant radioactive spiders is of course control. The control chip implanted in their mammoth mutated cerrabellum
cannot function well with the added strain of the multiple ocular stimuli. It makes for too much input on the CPU!
Now hamsters on the other hand! the binocular vision and lack of color receptors in the eye make it a fine example of a creature that can receive
massive doses of gamma radiation and be allowed to mutate to gigantic proportions. The control chip has much more processing power in the frontal lobe
and less strain because of outside stimuli.
YOU EVIL MONSTERS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HELL YOU WILL BRING ABOUT ON THE EARTH!
