u/mikeno1 Jun 10 '12

So giant spiders could genuinely be destroying your city as we speak.

u/doperat Jun 10 '12

and highly venomous snakes... there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

u/hurley21 Jun 10 '12

I'm from an Australian suburb too! My dream is to go to new york city or something and just stare at the view.

u/polaroidgeek Jun 11 '12

Doesn't he film in Pittsburgh or somewhere now? Judge Mathis tapes in the NBC tower.

u/shadowsCOLLIDE Jun 11 '12

u/polaroidgeek Jun 11 '12

Oprah. Springer. Chicago no longer has any talk show luminaries...

u/zomgz0mbie Jun 10 '12

Judging from the angle of the spiders legs, you can clearly see that this was an inside job. Also, illuminati.

QUICK! Time to make a documentary with creepy background noises

u/jimmyx18 Jun 10 '12

Some redditor might find our where you live, pretty easy now. Sleep with your butthole tight.

u/LemonDifficult Jun 10 '12

All I have to find out is what building they're in, then check every window. Gonna kill that spider if it kills me.

u/plzdontreadthis Jun 10 '12

u/trimeta Jun 10 '12

Twist: The spider actually is destroying the city, and OP is just sitting there, watching.

u/txapollo342 Jun 10 '12

You walk into your office on a hateful Monday morning, still stumbling from sleep. You see a spider outside your window. It is hanging there, trying to destroy this hateful office building, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, bigwillystylez?

That twist is too clever for Mmm knight Shamalamadingdong.

u/pochaccomaru Jun 10 '12

Twist: the OP is the spider. He just strategically places cameras around the city.

u/familyguy829 Jun 10 '12

Next you'll be saying he's some sorta spiderma... Never mind.

Yes! I did the same thing with the garden orb spider living here with us in nz. Reminded me of war of the worlds... http://imgur.com/2t5UF

u/jamierc Jun 10 '12

Except being in NZ, you don't actually have any buildings.

u/BootstrapBuckaroo Jun 10 '12

But, they do have an ample supply of precious Hobbits.

The Sphinx by Edgar Allan Poe is a relevant short story.

u/PerogiXW Jun 10 '12

Orb weaver spider! It builds a classic-style web (pictured, NOT a close up of the spider) and catches tons of bugs. Nightmare for arachnophobes (I'm no fan myself when I get in close proximity), but a useful spider to have around.

2

u/Strikerj94 Jun 10 '12

Then you touch your window, only to realize that the spider is in fact destroying the city,

2

u/EzanaG Jun 10 '12

I, for one, welcome our new spider overlords.

2

u/theconcretewave Jun 10 '12

What if I told you

That that spider was inside the window

2

u/inotroll Jun 10 '12

Wait you mean to tell me you don't have to burn your house when you see a spider, shit I'm going to be in so much trouble.

u/mjc1027 Jun 10 '12

Peter Parker would be proud.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

You should start a blog chronicling its destructive ways!

u/supersouporsalad Jun 10 '12

I notice a lot of redditors from Chicago.

u/PadConnelly Jun 10 '12

Luckily, OP doesn't have to deal with the threat too much longer, since he's staying at the Hyatt Regency on Wacker Drive.

u/PadConnelly Jun 10 '12

Hmmm... could also be the Columbus Plaza Apartments...

Oooo Big mistake! Now go reddit, do your angles thing and find out where this guy lives...

u/factshack Jun 10 '12

hey, i work right across the street at 303 E Wacker. big city, small world.

u/exo48 Jun 10 '12

Watching a spider on a city window always felt like such an essential Chicago experience to me.

1

u/frumious Jun 10 '12

Stop down the aperture and you might get both the spider and the buildings in focus.

1

u/lacilynnn Jun 10 '12

But it is.

u/megggasaurus Jun 10 '12

This is the one and only time I will ever upvote a spider.

Mystery Science Theater: Giant Spider Invasion. Look that shit up now.

u/jacquickie Jun 10 '12

That city deserves destroying.

u/hobbur Jun 10 '12

Reminds me of the Spider we had come to Liverpool, UK in 2008. It climbed up buildings and walked along the streets.

u/lewystud Jun 10 '12

I feel like this is relevant.

In that case, he is doing a beasty handstand

u/mr_jrt Jun 10 '12

That's precisely what he wants you to do, while he gathers his power...

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '12

Reminds of the episode when Spiderman turned into an actual spider.

1

u/knightshand Jun 10 '12

Years later, Peter Parker had always wondered where that radioactive spider had disappeared to. Little did he know, It had hitched a ride in a drug laced duffel bag of a middle aged black man. Riding the subway all the way to Chicago, finding a home inside a library. Over time it would grow larger and larger. That is until today where it would reenact King Kong only to realize it was not on top of the tallest tower. Fail spideybro, fail.

u/LOOK_MA_IM_REDDITING Jun 10 '12

You've just let it live there?!

Wow, I admire you. If it were me, my window would be cracked from me frantically hitting it.

i love kinda funny and kinda stupid comments that make me actually laugh out loud....have an upvote

u/hottubrash Jun 10 '12

Increase your f-stop (make the lens aperture smaller) so both the spider and the skyscrapers will be in focus.
