Just proves the stupidity of some people.

Ahahahahah... Justice is served.

It proves the stupidity of the British Fire Service, that they referred to the spider as a "creepy crawly". Just call it a spider, nobody cares besides Urjak.
-
Was that you, Urjak?
-
Was that you, Urjak?
Of course it was, those Brits just hate me...
-
A spokesman added: "We're not entirely sure whether the spider got away or not but there was no sign of it at the scene."
So.... The spider turned out OK right? Could've had some serious burns or something. :D

:laughing
People like that are the reason why i can't wait to leave the u.k :laughing

:fail:
It's a Salticidae, right ?
-

You'd better not visit my house Urjak. You'll end up completely mutilated.
-

Doubt it. The article probably just uses a stock photo of a spider, and it probably wasn't the same species or even family that was involved in the explosion.

*realizes the stupid*
*hits self in face*
Plus there is no reason a salticid should enter into a house like this. Most likely a Tegenaria or these long legged spiders... let me see... Pholcidae.

Most likely a Tegenaria
QFT- though could have been a Cellar Spider, though I forget what the actual scientific name for them is. Ive got a tegenaria living in my bathroom and she'll be living there until she decides to leave. My family is spider tolerant as a whole- in fact, my dad loves to photograph them :P

I like Spiders, and I'm a Brit ;)

Hate to break it to you... But idiots are everywhere.
You just have to find the good looking ones, it makes it more tolerable.
-

Probably. Tegenaria are found throughout Europe, most likely an agrestis or duellica. Although I suppose it could of been a Pholcid, they just don't seem to be the type to scurry across a floor.

Domestica ?

You are right.
-
Domestica ?
Good point... could have been any of the tegenaria then.
-
It was a Blackfunnelwebwidow.
-
Urjak, your kind has been terrorizing everywhere....
Wait...
:confused:
-
I don't get it.
-
They are just trashing the thread
-
Ah, now I get it.
I'm pretty sure I heard a similar story of a guy who blew himself up trying to start a barbecue with some rocket fuel he had "lying around".
