if you think that picture is bad, wait untill you read about them. my girlfriend loves listening to coast to coast w/ george norry on 1410 am. it's a late night talk show about ghosts and demons and apparitions and other scary shit. she showed me this pic and this is what was written above it.

cut and pasted from coasttocaost.com

Making the rounds on the Internet is this photo (below) of \"camel spiders,\" photographed by troops in Iraq. According to a column from The Lycos 50, the creatures are real, but the stories circulating about them are not. Here is what C2C listener Randy passed on to us:

FOUND IN IRAQ !

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.

PS. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top. These are Spiders found daily in IRAQ by our troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these bastards in your tent!!

grammatical errors every once and awhile are tolerable and acceptable. we are all human and make mistakes.

but when it is completely indecipherable and it happens every time you post, you know it's time to fix the shit.
