sorry we lost the "Kankuamo marquezi" thread

[zn]

It was an accident. I just learned about it. We will try to restore it, but if that doesn’t work, I will try copying it and reposting it. Sit tight, not sure how long this will take.

No, it was me. I don’t know what I did but I have trouble maneuvering through the site when on my cell phone. All I know is one moment I was looking at the thread and the next it was gone.

Or it could have been one of the other mods trying to set me up.

They are a shiftless, ruthless lot who are not above framing a peer for personal gain. They are like the Loki to my Thor.

Well if it’s any consolation, I don’t like pictures of big fat ole tarantulas either.

I just, you know, don’t consciously and deliberately set out to destroy them in a cunning pre-meditated way and then try to act all innocent about it.

But it takes all kinds so I am not judging.

ZN,

Your plant with the big bad teeth pic bothered me a great deal. If I had some power here, I would have accidentally obliterated that thread, just to get rid of that pic. I vote for no more human-eating plant pics, regardless, and I think I’m going to start a social justice campaign just to make sure you don’t do it again. Kinda like this one:

Or this one:

And this one pretty much says it all:

Well, I dont think either Loki or Thor could stand up to
a giant radiated Guacamole Marquezi spider, once it got its urticating butt hairs
all inflamed. Just so you know. This is science, I’m talkin about.

…it jabs its butt bristles, or urticating hairs, straight into its foes.
“Urticating hairs are used as defense against natural enemies,” Carlos Perafán, a biologist from the University of the Republic in Uruguay, said in an email. “These hairs are different from hairs covering the body of tarantulas because they have a penetrating tip, which allows the hair to embed in the skin or mucous membranes and cause irritation….”

I don’t know, man…that’s pretty lightweight stuff.

Read up about the Comanche. They went WAY beyond “causing irritation.”

For example, Comanche internet trolls are infamous for causing white hot blistering rage.

If you ask me, that’s a few levels above mere “irritation.”

ADDED BY EDIT:

Figured out how to restore the lost thread.
