Is it real or fake?
For those bored at work, or those, like me, who try to pass themselves off as useful, productive workers, when, in fact, they are not.
See how many you get right. Loads of fun for everyone (Check out the spider--it CANNOT be real..oops, just gave one away.:eek: )

I got 74%...I knew when you mentioned the spider one, which pic it was going to be. That made email rounds years ago and as such I knew it was real. But they aren't spiders...they are a sand animal and there were two of them hooked together... icky still...

Sure looked like spiders to me, and that's enough to make me pick my feet up off the floor just seeing them on my computer screen! Kimi doesn't do spiders or snakes!!

Actually if you read about them, they are very cool little beasts. I found the info on them that I had looked for when I received the email.
It's kinda cool so here is the link

Spiders used to freak me out pretty bad... not so much any more although I have to steel myself not to react... before I had no choice... I just ran screaming into the night...hehe

That is a cool link...and interesting. I still hate 'em....LOL
I grew up in west Texas, where there are things that will kill you and eat you, dodged rattlesnakes all my life, was bitten more than once by scorpions, watched my dad tease tarantulas on the highway (this time of year, the highways appear to have black ink splotches on them from the tarantulas crossing the roads). I don't just run screaming into the night, I smush the little critters if given the chance! No mercy. But, the camel spider info was indeed interesting!

~shudder~
I don't care what you call 'em, wouldn't want one in my sleeping bag.
Running and screaming isn't my thing... but smashing them with a shoe sure is. Guess I'd need a BIG shoe for those damn creatures.

You got that right! Of course, the critters up here aren't much fun either. The brown recluse is very prevalent here, and they DO eat your flesh, and then some. Then, there are the ticks and they are VERY healthy this year, along with their friends, the mosquitos. If I'm not in my vehicle, or on my motorcycle, I'm inside, under the air conditioning with the cats, right now.

The brown recluse wants nothing to do with you. Hence "recluse".

Yes, and the feeling is mutual. Problem is, they hide so good, people don't even know they've been bitten sometime until they start getting sick. Ewww.

They like to hide in shoes and slippers around here, kimi, for a fun filled start to your morning.
Also make sure you check boots and even slip-ons for BLACK WIDOWS.
Be that as it may, I still say that the desert spider is real and not only that, can actually run at 100 mph and yodel at the same time. Snopes does not know everything.

I think you're right, Ren....who is this Snopes guy, anyway, and how did he get to be the authority?
It's like "they". Who is "they" that always seems to set the standards for everybody else? Inquiring minds.

I don't like the way they try to debunk a good ghost story!
No harm in believing in the Phantom Hitchhiker or the Call From Beyond the Grave.
Snopes just wants to take all the FUN out of life.........
