February 21, 2013 - Raining Spiders
I got this one posted to my Facebook page this morning. It is really the video that sells it but since this is Image of the day, here is a still to start you off with.
 Still is from http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/scie...ers-in-brazil/ And the YouTube that made this go viral is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPujnYOX9dc

That's really remarkable.
The video is frustrating though. They guy never zoomed out to show the whole extent, or even walked around. Once you zoom in once or twice, you establish that all those little specks are spiders, so then you should zoom all the way out and pan the camera from one end to the other so we can see the size of the spider invasion. Just how big is it? |

omg one of my nightmares! Why oh why did I look? Did the word 'spiders' along with 'RAINING' not clue me in?

Mrs. Z is freaked out by snakes. My thing is bugs. Raining spiders would be a very bad day for me.

Sigh.
Why does it never rain men?

We're too fat. If it ever did precipitate men, it wouldn't be rain, it would be oobleck.

I'd rather get pummelled by fat men than softly landed on by creepy crawly leggy jumpy web-spinning nasty things.
Or beer. |

Ewww. Ewww.
I don't generally mind spiders, but falling spiders freak me the fuck out. If i see a spider in my house I generally let it be. If it's on the ceiling in my bedroom it has to go.

That's not what I call raining.
But good call, Coign.

yeah, it's not really raining... since they're not actually falling.
