rynlingIf you see a list titled "10 Things To Never Google," don't google those things.
I saw something terrible, and now I can't unsee it. It will be in my brain forever. The only solace I have is in telling other people about it and then watching it infect them like a virus.
This is not the thing, but at the top of the list was "clock spider," which is an obviously Photoshopped picture of the front four legs of a spider emerging from behind a standard circular wall clock. The relative sizes of the clock and the legs suggest that the spider is quite large; but, because its body is hidden, exactly how horrible it looks is left to the viewer's imagination.
Personally, this picture gave me the moé feels, like, Oh look the spider thinks it's hiding but it's so bad at it and it doesn't think we can see it but we can!
I think spiders are adorable. I would love to have a pet spider that was large enough and smart enough to chill out on my shoulder. The way they move their legs is so silly, and they have all these big round eyes, and they're covered in soft fuzz that just makes me want to pet them. I know that I can't be the only person who walked out of The Return of the King wanting to ride Shelob around Middle Earth, because she is obviously the most awesome character in that movie. Also, the best relationship in Harry Potter is between Hagrid and Aragog, because they just love each other so much, and they would do anything for one another, and it breaks my heart that they can't be together all the time.
So spiders are okay. That other thing, though – that's going to haunt me until I die.
