After Sprinters slice of wisdom, it's my turn for a bit of trivia.

Did you know.........

That during our lifetimes, the average human will eat 8 spiders while asleep.

That's right...... the little bastards crawl around looking for a nice little place to build their web in, they crawl into your mouth, and the rest is history.

:P

If you've got a spider problem, catch crickets and then let 'em go in yr car, crickets eat spiders.

I did this, got rid of all my spiders, but now I have a chirping sound under the dash and another one behind the door skin..........................................hhehehehehhehehahahahaha

Buncha nancy boys..............

PS Been bitten by huntsman, and red back, redback made me a bit crook for a day or so, huntsman gave hot flush for an hour or so then nothing

hehehaha..Very funny...Driving along doing a delivery in the work van one day pulled down the visor to stop the sun getting my eyes and this huge ass fuggin huntsman dropped down onto the window-sill next to my arm,i packed shizz and did the wiggles,didnt know where the fugg it went,and i never did,untill a couple of weeks later it must have crawled down under the seat of the van and got into the engine bay sure enough it was cooked hard and dry (thin and crispy).For the rest of that day i was paranoid wondering when it would pop up.

Huntsmans are HARMLESS people!

we have a beachhouse in the middle of a national park, and we have an old wood-fired oven there... was collecting wood for the stove when i turned a piece over and a huntsman bigger than my hand crawled up my arm... i walked back to the house with it there and showed my brother (he's arachnophobic) and he FREAKED... i didn't see him for the next hour... hahahaha.

Seriously, spiders won't hurt you unless you threaten them in some way. Hell, i used to catch redbacks when i was about 9 or 10... they were everywhere around my house... i think at one stage i had about 40 or 50 of them.... some of them bigger than a 50 cent piece.

We have a 6 foot carpet snake that hangs around work... if he starts getting too close to the skyline i have no qualms with picking him up and moving him along, so he can eat some of the damn scrub the sphincter of the universes that hang around there too, lol. (No, i won't pick up more deadly types of snakes, i'm not THAT crazy)

thx man, i'v gonna sleep well tonight with that info

Sounds like its time to invest in some Frogs ;)

You'r Frogline will be spider free. I use to breed Green Frogs and they live everwere here and eat spiders and all the bugs. But if you dont like frogs then i guess thats not an option ;)

I dont really like spiders either! but i have a big hairy one in a cast of glass.

Its 11cm long including legs. the body is 4 1/2 cm's the fangs are 1cm long and its 7cm wide including legs and the body is 2cm wide.

I have no idea what type it is. :uhh:

I drove home from a friends house one night, and he lives on a leafy street etc. Big ass spider crawls down the outside of my windshield and over towards drivers mirror. Finally pulled up outside my house, and just blew on the horn until dad came out, and i screamed at him to get rid of it. Flung the door open, and ran. didnt drive the car for 2 days after that.

But recent event, friend of mine took the license plate of a car which had been sitting in the drive all year (working project), and as he walked up the street he felt something on his arm. From what i heard there were liek 2 or 3 spiders nesting behind the plate. I dont know if they are that sociable.

Finally, same dudes place, walking towards his bungalo out the back, and there is this huge fookin spider up next to his door. looked to be 20cm across, with huge bulbous body. screamed for my friend to come out and kill it. he thought i was talking about a normal huntsman, and even he had enver seen somethign so big. needless to say i ran liek bitch through the door.

stop it stop it stop it!!!!!!! im getting shivers up my spine just reading bout this. There is nothing in this world that scares me as much as spiders. Huntsman spiders are the scariest shit ever. If i know theres one in my room, i cannot sleep, i know that it will crawl on my face during the night coz they are evil and scheming like that. after reading the post about humans eating like 8 spiders or something in their sleep, i dont think im ever gonna be able to go to sleep now, lol

    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
    • No ABS, no TCS, no airbags, no cruise control, no lane departure assist, no emergency brake assist, no orange lights in the mirrors (continuously annoying me in multi-lane traffic), no stupid rear view camera. I am the one responsible for where my car goes and how it does it.
    • Cheapest Jaycar one is only $65.
    • Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol
