The title sounds like a horror movie of some kind, but sadly, and excitingly at the same time, it is also true.
The Joro spiders arrived in Georgia in 2014. Unfortunately their cruise line went bankrupt and closed their doors when George and Judy Joro-Spider and their kids had left the cruise ship at the Atlanta port for a day visit to the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta.
Without the money to fly home, they settled down in Marietta, GA. George Joro-Spider was able to get a job as a web designer and Judy became a research assistant. Here’s an article below about her job. I found this at ScienceNordic.com
Protectors of the web:
The spiders were then tested in a simulated hunting situation. The plastic cartons were hung up in bushes, with the lids open, so the spiders could use them as structural foundations for their web traps. After the spiders had spun their webs, the scientists fastened a leaf on each web and – here’s where it gets kinky – held a sex toy, a vibrator with adjustable intensities, to the leaf to simulate the struggles of a captive insect. Then they waited for reactions from the spider colony that was nested inside the plastic carton.
So, apparently she was a sex worker. She’s not proud of it. When interviewed, Judy said, “We had bills to pay and kids to raise. I hope they don’t see this article online.” Apparently, George and Judy had a lot of kids because…
“Giant venomous flying spiders with 4-inch legs heading to New York area as they spread across East Coast, experts say.”
That’s a real headline from the website Science. Yep, I’m in New York and I’m just waiting for the flying spiders to show up. Should I move? Hide in my house until winter? Or get suited up like a beekeeper and gleefully watch my neighbors running down the street screaming? Imagine the panic and chaos in New York City when the spiders come swooping down into Times Square! So, A.I., you think you know everything; how do you propose we solve this problem? In
What would you do if these flying venomous spiders were headed to your town?
Have a great Friday! Thanks for reading ~Phil
Nooo! HELL, no! This is the worst thing I’ve ever read!
Actually, no. The worst thing would be if they were coming to London. But it’s still horrendous!
Hi, sorry I’ve been absent for the last two weeks. And guess what? Lee Brickley lied to me! He said he would do the interview for me and then didn’t reply to the questions I sent him.
Oh no! I’m guessing you’ve chased him and he’s still showing no proof of life?
By the way, I haven’t forgotten that I said I’d write you a cryptid piece. Our local one is the Brentford Griffin but the one eyewitness is basically some drunk bloke. I’m wondering how I can make a vaguely credible article from that!
That sounds interesting. Who wouldn’t want a Griffin hanging around?
I’ll still work on it and try to produce something. And I won’t be remotely offended if you decide not to use it!
Of course I’ll use it!
It might be shit, though. 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve read your blog. I know you don’t write shit
That’s very kind of you, thank you!
In fact I like your writing style. You have a good voice
Thank you so much. I do come across as very British, which is either a good or a bad thing. 🤣🤣🤣
To me it’s a very good thing.
I want to close the drapes and stay inside. I can handle flying spiders. I can handle giant spiders. I can handle venomous spiders but giant, flying, venomous spicers. No way.
lol, that is quite the apocalyptic combination
Scary
