Quoted from an email sent to me by my step father:

They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out
at night unless they are in shade.

When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb
instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you
wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because "it" has been gnawing on
it all night long.

If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow
over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will
instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you.

These are Spiders found daily in IRAQ by troops. Imagine waking up and
seeing one of these in your tent!!

PS. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top.
