totally like the spiders in hp
you know, same thing in New York. There is this section of the park/beach with all the trees and webs and BLOOD. I repeat: BLOOD. Now, spiders are everywhere and they are HUGE. How I know this? Because I chose to ride my bike cause there was nothing to do. I did not mean to ride into a freak-a-palooza of ninja spiders with webs as nunchucks. Blood as a reason to run. Lesson learned: no more bike riding through parks/beaches that have signs "warning! Warning! Deadly toxics up ahead!"
