I'll have to get me one of those for the next time the wife thinks it is time to replant cactus.
I get the whole "don't kill spiders, because spiders eat other bugs" bit, but give me a break here.

Sorry folks call what ever agency you want, but spiders scorpions fly's or any other bug insect arachnid, slithering, slinking, crawling, flying, or any other living creature this includes the species known to many as humans, not invited into our house by myself or the wife are at risk of a shortend life expectancy.
Jon, not to worry; no spiders harmed during rehearsals or filming of this commercial.Quote:

Starring role was conceived with Arachnid #76590 [screen name] in mind; on the strength of credits in Arachnophobia, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Creepy-Crawly and others. He refused, declaring TV and public service messages beneath his stature, also failed the character study artwork for print advertising.
This Attachment 27306 would have assured lasting fame.
Mickey's infamous brother-in-law got the part instead.
Arachnid #76590 died shortly thereafter.
His place of internment not known; but reportedly under his agents wingtip left Florsheim.
If I could convince my partner to use one , they would be great. She rang me yesterday and advised the lights were on in the shed for the last few days & I had left the shed door open to boot. "Can you please go ,turn off the lights (switch beside the door) and shut the door in case of intruders/theives." "No way, there are too many snakes and spiders!".skins are all over the place & I've kept a bucket of all sorts & sizes of them for art/craft/something. At least my man cave is mine.LOL
Redbacks, mouse spiders, bird spiders & funnel webs get a similar fate here.Most everything else is given at least 10 seconds, LOL. I generally relocate.Quote:

Always Bang out your boots (spiders, centapedes, scorpions & other creepy crawlies).
A chap here, a couple of years back, had a very uncomfortable foot so at lunchtime took off the steel cap boot. Doctors were amazed he was still alive but a disection & investigation of the boot revealed heaps of poison therein. They checked the funnel web spider & it was totally out of venom. He had trapped the spider facing the opposite way & could not do its thing & kept injecting the boot with venom.
A major in our army was camped at Tin Can Bay during exercises and at night climbed into his sleeping bag and died almost immediately the coastal Taipan struck him multiple times with enough venom to kill a herd of horses. Lesson= dont roll out your bed roll until ready to get into it.
Lucky that little guy wasn't a redback or a white tail or a cross of these venomous species
Now we're getting somewhere.

almost mimics the movement of thumb 4 thumbs on a single mounting way cool . I've always said that humans hands would be far more adapt at doing things if we had 2 thumbs on each hand and no pinky finger. after all all they are good for is to pick your nose or dig wax out of your ears with.
looks good to me for amputees & arthritic problem folk. Probably 1000 other applications (with or without modification).
That is COOL! Looks to be driven from the shaft in the rear...wonder if it's some kind of gear train driving some kind of jointed spring material?

Wait I think I saw this in a movie once it had to do with an animated elephant with big ears that was constantly picking things up with its trunk then flying off with them, no that's not right it was a bad guy in one of the Jack Sparrow movies where the octopus grabbed things or maybe it was a sinbad movie. Nope I got it it was Men in black and the creature picked up a marble that looked like the earth and rolled it across teh floor.Quote:
