We had a Latisha (spelt Latecia, I think) at my school in Australia.

Little known fact - the first Birdemic was supposed to be set in Australia, but when the entire first cast was poisoned/eaten/dragged off by dingos/crocodiles/seagulls, James Nguyen gathered up a second cast and shot it in California.

R.I.P. First Birdemic Cast. :australia:

I'd never heard of this film, so I googled it. People have described it as "the worst film of all time", so I'm off to watch it. Thank you so much for letting me know of its existence.

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but if you're for real, enjoy! You are in for a bad movie treat. Once you've "enjoyed" it, check out the rifftrax version. Birdemic is the Manos of low-budget Hitchcockian rip offs.

I was being completely serious; terrible, low-budget "horror" movies are one of my favourite things in the world. I just got a chance to see Birdemic, and I was not disappointed !

It really needs to be noted that the best part of this bit of the movie is that, if you watch this gif for 2 minutes, you've watched the whole scene. That's all that happens; they just stand completely still and swat at birds that are also completely still.

e: sorry for the derail.

I have a friend who's scared shitless of any kind of spider, to the extent that she freezes up and refuses to drive if one is in the car, so those spider stories weren't particularly surprising.

Then I googled huntsman spider. :stare:

Huntsmans (huntsmen ?) look scary, and their bites are very painful, but they're certainly not deadly.

Many people in Australia (myself included) will let a huntsman live in their bathroom (they really like bathrooms for some reason. Humidity, maybe ?), because they're territorial, so having 1 huntsman generally means no other spiders. And the choice between huntsman and redbacks is a pretty easy one.

This is some kind of crazy rear end in a top hat spider.




Just as a complete aside, one of they ways they hunt is by stringing single threads of super sticky silk between 2 horizontal surfaces (the underside of a chair and the floor, for example) and stretching them really taut. When something touches the string, it detaches from the floor and springs up into the air, so the prey gets stuck in the sticky web, suspended in the air.
Which I think is neat.

It's Australia, though, so I think enormous spiders are just a part of everyday life over there.

Yep. If we burnt down everything that had a spider in/on/under/near it, there'd be nothing left but flames and spiders (and sharks).
