    I want to trade my car for one of those. “What’s that you say? The entire city is gridlocked? Mwa ha ha! Traffic is no match for my giant mechanical spider!”

    On a side note: Is it SNOWING there? It’s freaking 75 degrees here!

    It’s not really snowing in Liverpool. That’s just some artificial snow (strange because spiders aren’t usually associated with snow). It is however raining almost all the time in the UK at the moment.

  • My god! It’s a giant spider invasion!

    Seriously, though, this is completely awesome, despite being French.

    Wait, it killed someone? That’s kind of a depressing (and yet, in a bastard-y way that makes me feel bad for thinking it, AWESOME) way of ending this little piece of ary story.

    “On a side note: Is it SNOWING there? It’s freaking 75 degrees here!”

    It’s artificial snow as an experiment. To prove…I have no idea.

    Maybe the snow’s due to them being huge fans of Ice Spiders, and wanting to pay homage to it.

    Wait, I just realized the flaw in my hypothesis. Never mind.
