Yikes... funnel web spiders... if I ever saw one, I'd run so fast you'd think I was trying out for the olympics.
In Australia, they also have the largest spider in the world - the bird eating one... can't remember the name, but Lucas would know what I'm talking about.
Here in the U.S. we have Black Widow spiders, Hobo spiders, and the Brown Recluse, being among the deadly ones. *shivers*
