I just got sent this:

These are for real!

They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out
at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are
injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are
bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm
missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long.
If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow
over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will
instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you.

PS. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top. These are Spiders
found daily in IRAQ by troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of
these in your tent!!

And it scares the shit out of me...

Apparently they are Camel Spiders found in Iraq... Even Snopes is not sure what to make of them...

Had a spider in my bed the other day as I woke up and jumed out of the bed with a scream...Do not want to know what it would be to wake up with one of these....Iiihhhh....Hopefully just another joke...?
