Slightly OT question for you science geeks...
The girl I sit beside at work claims to have encountered a spider the size of a human hand (including it's legs) in her bathroom last night. Apparently it's got beady eyes on stalks as well. She screamed, burst into tears and had to jump over the fucker to get out of the room, it was that big. Took her boyfriend a wee while to find something big enough to trap it in and now it's living in a big glass jar in their living room. He got beetles from the garden to feed it with and seems to want to keep it as a pet :slanted:
Any ideas as to what in God's name it might be/where it came from?
