That is soooooo cute. I wish there was a bigger version of this, use it at petting zoos, kids would love it.

Nice pic. Can i squish it?!!!
The idea of the huge spiders though, truly disgusting. How would anyone think things like those could be gotten rid of, hypothetically? If we're
speculating on this happening, how about thinking up a solution?

here is were your retardedness goes to a whole NEW level, there is no possible way to make a spider that big, especially in a labratory.
unless you have the biggest f!cking labratory in the world
and point 2
after making one of these, how would you stop it from killing the scientist's?
point 3
if they were THAT big they WOULD be incredibly slow because of gravity.

Now that I've had the chance to think about it for awhile, I realize that it is just WRONG to automatically attach a derogatory label such as
"Terrorist" to these beings created by the Iranians.
I now see a lot of Anti-Spideranian propaganda being spewed forth by many posters in this thread that I didn't notice before.
Genetically modified spiders, no matter how they came into existance, deserve the same natural rights as the rest of the Spider World.
If these accusations are to continue I may be forced to organize a GMS (genetically modified spider) Special Wildlife Protection Fund (probably even
get full funding from the UN), and petition Congress for special Spider-Hate laws to be passed.

altering a spiders genetics and making it the size of a skyscraper is a big leap from shoving some cocaine up its nostril...

Just to set minds at rest (for those of you who are concerned that one day you might wake up cocooned...)!! There is a very well understood rule in
invertebrate zoology that governs the theoretical maximum size of organisms. In the case of arthropods this maximum comes about, indirectly, because
of the composition of the cuticle (exoskeleton) which is primarily a protein called chitin. As the animals get larger, they also get
disproportionately heavier - imagine the surface area of the animal increasing as a square area (x^2) and the volume increasing a cube function
(x^3).
For a large organism, a chitinous cuticle (hard, tough) would be incredibly heavy. So, large arthropods that need to move fast (think huntsman
spiders...) have thin soft cuticles that are lighter. They maintain positive internal pressure which allows them to move - however, if they are
damaged in any way, they rupture and die due to the delicate exterior and positive internal pressure. Those that retain the thick cuticle are heavy,
slow and non-predatory (e.g. rhinoceros beetles).
Large tarantulas are as big as any arthropod can get unless totally sessile or supported by water - thank f@*ck!! That is, unless these pesky
iranians fabricate them from kevlar, PTFE or some other such superlight tough material :-)
All the best,
N

Monster spider farming! pretty interesting. My third eye is (pineal gland) is active for the past two years and i see giant spiders with
disproportionately long spiders inter-twining their legs with one another, whenever i focus on the center of the forehead. I was thiniking, may be i
was looking at spider dominated planets in the orion belt!! Iran may be!!
Cheers

I know this has been done a for a little while but i had to say this, spiders can and do eat each other, for example the black widow female eats her
mate, and scientists have even said that if they were farm spiders for their silk it wouldn't work because the spiders would eat each other. So the
spiders would eat each other in the barrel.

Why would they create mutant spiders? If the technology is available to make giant mutant animals, i can think of alot more dangerous ones that could
be created. Perhaps its because alot of people are scared of them. Im going to start making a giant magazine and roll it up, i'll be ready
Also because spiders & most insects breath through holes in their sides called spiricles, the surface to air ratio would be all messed up and they
couldnt survive. Thats why insects are the size they are, the biggest you will find is like a foot long beetle or something weird like that.
But i suppose with genetics anything is possible.
Scary thought

I am sooooooo bummed out right now...
Because this would be the happiest day of my life if this story was real and I know at heart it is not...
G-d if we only could just once get something this cool out of a war... you know, it's just..bombs and fire and bombs and fire...
and all these nukes that kill civilians... it's just if civilians have to die then it should be fighting to the death against giant mutant
spiders... you have a chance, you know... if you die and your kid lives, he/she forever until they die can say "Dad died fighting a Giant Iranian
Super Spider"
you'd have good and evil definitive in the war too... the guys with the giant mutant spiders... are the bad guys even in this retarded world where
noone knows right and wrong...we all would know The Iranian Mutabnt Giant Spiders makes them the Evil Army.... there is no question once you go
there...
I must say a prayer....
Please, Please G-d let the Giant Nuclear Radioactive Iranian Spider project come to fruition so that we may fight a just war worthy of telling stories
and singing songs about for generations
