Funniest thread I've read in a long time!! I'm also mega paranoid whilst sitting at my desk at work now though from some of the comments above

I've just thought though - if these things ARE that big, how the hell did it sneak back in a Rucksack ! :confused:

Surely it's something you would have noticed when packing to come home lol

I saw hundreds of these things during my tour of duty at Basrah Airport in 2005. Awful things. They'd run (very quickly!) towards you to try and get into your shade - scared the life out of me, especially when people nearby started baiting them with sticks!

They can move at 10mph apparently.

They seemed to move a lot faster than that over short distances!

TBH A Camel Spider would cause an evacuation at my house too.

Probably because none of them were carrying a keyboard at the time.

That and camel spiders move fast and look bloody scary.

A large shoe would be sufficient.

Id probably need a cold shower and change of undercrackers if id seen it in the house but you wouldnt allow it to escape. It could be anywhere now.

What would be the survival chances of a camel spider in the UK?

THMRK · 28 Aug 2008 at 14:02

Depends on what kind of weapon you used.

Grandmaster Fap! · 28 Aug 2008 at 14:03

Only one option, send Chuck Norris.....i just hope while round housing it doesnt run up his trouser leg!! :eek:
