    The content below was taken from http://www.camelspiders.net

    The camel spider stories began to spread during the 1990-91 Gulf War. Now, with the continued presence of U.S. forces in the Middle East, the stories are becoming legendary. .. Many of the stories on the internet are completely untrue. These creatures are (usually) not dangerous to humans. But, dangerous or not, these creatures are horrifying to encounter. I pity anyone who encounters one for the first time.

    Those spiders look very scary :eek: It's true that even if they don't bite, I'd freak out if one crawled on me.

    I personally thought that this spider is cute :)

    Know any scarier animals/insects?
    Trust me.. waking up to find a cockroach lying in bed beside you will leave you traumatized for life. :(

    A camel spider's eyes are kind of cute (at least I think they're the eyes):

    My Uncle has worked in Iraq twice and claimed to see those horrible things. I can't stand any spider - big or small. Those things are just freakish.

    I guess you saw this story on BT Yahoo originally?

    I looked into it, and I have to admit I was scared!
