Default Thats just creepy

A ship laden with building materials is turned away from Guam after a spider infestation erupts from the cargo hold.

Damn you, tater and Pinguin, you stole my joke before I could even log on to reply to this post! However, I will not allow your little usurpation to stand in the way of me upping my post count by one.

Can you imagine how the crew must have felt when the ship was turned back! Yikes.

I saw the fox link and immediately started imagining Glen Beck ranting about this being a "sign from God" and that the ship is actually a metaphor for America and the spiders are all liberals and Guam is prosperity. Also something about Nazis in his rant of course.
