SPIDERS!

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while cleaning out my garage, I found a pregnant spider. I couldn't step on the spider without releasing the baby spiders, so I went inside to get a glass jar to trap it. While trying to relocate the spider, I accidentally stepped on it. I now have a bunch of baby spiders roaming around. FML

For some reason I read this as "I found a pregnant sister" it was way cooler that way.

you could have just used your lighter to burn it and all the little baby spiders instantly

how did you know it was pregnant? hmm

I didn't know that when you step on things they give birth!

Holy crap. Yes, spiders lay eggs. Some may lay eggs INSIDE their bodies, or carry the hatchlings on their backs. Some spiders even eat the mother from the inside out, and the mother becomes a meal for the babies. I'm not saying that I know more than anyone else or anything, but stop making such stupid remarks about stuff you don't know a lot about.

It doesn't work like that, by stepping on a spider, you don't magically release a bunch of baby spiders who are for some reason not squished, also, how did you know it was pregnant?

1. Oh god, I hate spiders. 2. I would look into the eggs vs live birth thing, but I can't. See #1. 3. I agree with everyone saying spray or burn them. 4. I also agree that if you step on the mother, it would make sense that you'd squish the babies, too, but maybe spiders live in the Matrix and can defy physics. On a semi-unrelated note: The "animals that give birth are mammals" rule has exceptions. People have already pointed out that certain sharks give birth to live young, as do some spiders (apparently -- also ick). Further exceptions are mammals that lay eggs, such as platypuses and echidnas. Sometimes nature just likes to **** with you. In conclusion, TL;DR -- nature hates you.
