Giant spiders! In Wisconsin!

This sounds very familiar...

The Wisconsin Department of Natural resources warns residents to look out for large spiders.

The DNR posted on their Facebook page Thursday that they're getting reports of people finding 'fishing spiders,' which often live near water and catch small fish and tadpoles. The post also says they can range inland to hunt and breed.

Many expressed dismay. As one woman wrote, "If these are becoming common in Wisconsin then I'm moving to Antarctica."

As in Alan Hale Jr. familiar. As in Giant Spider Invasion familiar.

4. Yeah!

I loved the movie to begin with, but it's more fun with the riffing.

5. The MST3K version is a fun movie

And it makes a session on a treadmill go really fast.

2. Madison has been infested with cockroaches since January, 2011. Maybe the spiders will eat them.

3. Was talking to a friend in MD the other day

And she said they're having a problem with them (fishing spiders) and black widows
In Perryville, MD. That's too close for comfort for me (Newark, DE).
