    That’s it. We’re done for. Spiders are making and using weapons now. In a few thousand years, they will develop exploding webs, and there will be Flintlock Spiders then Tommy Web Spiders, then Canon Web Spiders, and lastly Thermowebular Spiders. :(

    Dooooom.

    cool video. Here’s another one by the same guy. It’s an incredible display of chimps teaming up to get this: hunt another monkey. I always thought mans closest ancestor were vegetarians but apparently they’re not.

    The first thing that popped into my mind when I read this were the Giant Mutant Termantises from Mimic.

    p.s. – Your God can’t save you from Apocalwebtic Arachnids. You can’t run, you can’t hide. Your prayers will go unanswered. The end is upon us, and there is nothing we can do.

    Nothing!
