Today, I saw a large spider carry away the body of a dead spider in the bathroom. In my anthropology class, we learned one of the first signs of civilization is caring for the dead. First, they become civilized, and next, they take over. I will never sleep again. FML

OP here and I find it really funny that the people without a frickin' sense of humour are calling *me* stupid. (Not to mention when said assholes appear to be illiterate...) Yes, I know it is probably going to eat it - seeing as next time I went in there the spider had gotten smart enough to stop and wrap up its dinner to make it easier to carry, lol. (Problem solving abilities now? hmmmmmm lol) And, let's see... I was obviously in college at one point, so I would hope some of you would realize that means I'm educated. Please learn to take a joke. I'm just happy I finally got an FML accepted. And, of all of them it was a joke about one spider carrying off a "wounded comrade". And I saw someone did allude to the fact I must have left the dead one as a warning to the others. Muahahahahaha. *AND* maaaaybe this was a carefully staged display on their part to turn the tables and send *ME* a warning that they won't be dealt with so easily - that there are always MORE. *shudders* Finally, the reason there are so many spiders? I live in the basement of this house out in rural North Georgia and this scene took place in the bathroom in the back corner of said basement. So... the spiders love it there.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

When most bugs find the dead body of another bug, they take the corpse away to eat it. It's survival, not civilization.

Kill an ant and see how long it takes for another to pick up the body. They're the ones you need to be worried about...

I had an ant farm when I was little, and we fed the ants crushed-up mini wheats. If one was struggling to carry a piece, another ant would drop its piece and crawl over to help. They have a lot of human-like qualities O_o

OR the spider was going to eat it in a more secure place. P.S.: why would you terrify us all with this post!

We never learned about spiders in Anthropology class. Also, spiders eat those disgusting other bugs that find their way in your house. I must be the only one more terrified of a cockroach then a spider.

Errm, I was taught that female spiders eat their mates, and that the females are always bigger. Not sure if it's true or not. So maybe you'll have baby spiders to deal with soon, too? :D

I like spiders and I for one will welcome our arachnid overlords.

That's so awesome! Even spiders care for the dead, we should start caring for the live- parents , grandparents, elderly!

Spiders eat each other all the time. Blackwidow spiders eat their mates right after. Poor fella, never saw it coming.
