The cute, the bad and the ugly?

First cuteness:



And then, under a cut for the arachnophobias, a spider I found in the basement. I've held tarantulas before, so this is not the largest I've ever seen, but it is the largest Danish spider I've ever seen. Much to my disappointment, C didn't want to come down to to the basement and see if for himself, so I have to share it with you guys. Sadly it doesn't look as impressive on the photo as it does in real life. ( itsy bitsy... )

Conversations with C:

C: *karate-chops an airfilled bag on the kitchen table*
May: Eeek! You almost hit me. You could have smashed my fingers. There would've been blood everwhere and fragments of bone and flesh flying through the air.
C: ....
C: ....
C: No more fantasy books for you.
