If you have arachnophobia, I'd advise you not to click on the video, it is fairly yucky. This speciman was about the size of my hand spread out, maybe 5 inches across. Camel spiders aren't really spiders, they have 10 legs and 2 eyes and belong to an order of non-spider arachnids called Solifugae. They are aggressive and believe me, it hurts bad when they bite (taking a chunk out, story for another day) but non-venomous. From observation, I think they only live for a year, you get there in the early spring and the ones you see are fairly small and as the summer progresses, they get bigger and bigger. Not very bright either, they'll chase lights, shadows and strings but they move super fast and when ones coming up your pant leg with it's fangs spread, it'll make you scream like a girl and dance about.

The video was done by members of the Norwegian army (thanks Marlon, you can tell by the viking longship on their shoulder patches). Don't have a followup story for this yet. Update: This was originally done by the Bob Rivers Show www.bobrivers.com (check out his site, he has more information) and covered by some Norwegian soldiers in 1999, New York Times Nicholas Wood wrote an article on the 21st of August 2005 http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/21/international/europe/21kosovo.html Guess there is some sort of uproar going on, this was just an email forward to me which I thought was fairly funny but I'll likely pull it off my site soon since I had nothing to do with the making or writing it, just my moment of laughter with the world and the talent of these soldiers. Drop me a line if this offends you and I'll yank it. Download while you can. Update number 2: At least I'm not the first one to post it on the internet, I'm not even in the top 40 google searchs for Kosovo Music Video! dustmans@gmail.com Thu, 08 Dec 2005 16:03:58 -0800
