How (Not) to Catch a Huntsman Spider - Neatorama

The Huntsman spider, common in Australia, aren't as deadly as they look, but will bite if provoked. In this video, "Daddy" does his best to safely remove the arachnid from his home. His daughter has some choice words for him afterwards.

D: Huntsman are so uber they do not have to bite to subdue their prey. In the words of Ripley, "Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure..."

.... there is something no other Aussie has mentioned so far...

When these bastards run ... they tend to run straight at you! They don't turn and run, they make you turn and run if you're afraid of them..

It would have been so great if the spider had fallen on his face while he was talking to the camera.

All bars of soap will do that.... not just Ivory Soap.

Most of these are really bad ideas, but the Ivory Soap is always a hoot!

Microwaving stuff questions?

Go check out the web series "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" on YouTube. Ten glorious seasons of microwave awesomeness. (Give season one a chance, he did it in a bored voice on purpose as a joke.)

I'm sorry about your weekend, but you're welcome.

Only the original "classic" Ivory soap bars do that. Afterwards they crush up into a powder great for washing clothes in a pinch. It's hard to get the soap scent/taste out of the air though.

And... which of 'all of those things' would do well on a grill, exactly? Someone had a good idea but couldn't make it work, that's for sure.

microwaving a microwave would almost certainly rip a hole in the fabric of space and time
