Huge Spiders for Sale on PPG !?

€ 101 + SHIPPING [currently out of stock]

The Goliath birdeater tarantula*, Theraphosa blondi [Latin America], is one of the biggest
spiders in the world,say the size of a dinner plate. They don't like being handled and like
all spiders, they can bite and its hairs can provoque allergic reaction. However, short of
allergic reactions, a Goliath bite feels like a couple of bee stings,but there may be more
pain than the average bee sting.
Most Goliaths will demonstrate rather aggressively when disturbed. They will put on quite
a show, even hissing sometimes.

Will the UN resolution stop a MadDog's race?

So, the UN Security Council has resolved tonight to implement a no-fly zone
over Libya and "all necessary measures" to protect civilians.
Five nations out of ten abstained but didn't vetoed the Council's decision.


Al Jazeera reported today who's contributing what for the UN military intervention
in Libya:
- France and the US will be cooperating in those missions.
- Britain says it will be mobilising Tornado and Typhoon fighter jets, as well as two
frigates
currently in the Mediterreanean.
- Italy says it is ready to offer the use of several airbases.
- Norway says it is prepared to take part in the operation.
- Denmark is awaiting parliamentary approval to mobilise F-16 fighter jets to take part.
- Poland says it is prepared to offer logistical support, but no military strike force.
- Canada will contribute the use of six CF-18 fighter jets and a navy frigate currently
in the Mediterranean.

Each of the contributing nations [AJ says] has their own codename for enforcing UN Security Council
resolution 1973: Odyssey Dawn, the US military operation, Ellamy, the UK military effort, Mobile, the
Canadian component and Harmattan, the French military operation.

After the statements of France, UK, United States and Arab countries, Obama's speech,
late this evening, was a last warning to Colonel Gaddafi...
[Here is an excerpt from AJ]
"Muammar Gaddafi has a choice. The resolution that passed lays out very clear conditions
that must be met. The United States, the United Kingdom, France and Arab states agree
that a ceasefire must be implemented immediately. That means all attacks against civilians
must stop. Gaddafi must stop his troops from advancing on Benghazi, pull them back from
Ajdabiyah, Misurata and Az Zawiyah, and establish water, electricity and gas supplies to all
areas. Humanitarian assistance must be allowed to reach the people of Libya.
These terms are not subject to negotiation. If Gaddafi does not comply with the resolution,
the international community will impose consequences: the resolution will be enforced
through military action."

... yet, if Gaddafi has responded by calling a ceasefire ... he doesn't respect it.
He's still trying to gain time.

Gaddafi's, another silly speech announcing the collapse of a regime.

If the legitimate claims that leed to revolt in North Africa and Middle East
countries are the same, the course of events shows that it is easier to
overthrow a crook (Tunisia) or a traditional dictator (Egypt) than a sick
man like Colonel Gaddafi.

[TelLieVision - 1 of 3]

The revolt of the Libyan people is probably felt by the Colonet as clumsiness and lack
of gratitude from his subjects, which only exasperates the need for recognition of his
hypertrophied ego.
The problem is that he now feels driven to martyrdom, but not before having wiped
out those who oppose his will. Mentally ill or devil's henchman, the treatment Gaddafi
reserved to protesters since the beginning of riots has seriously violated the international
humanitarian law and therefore...
"The UN Security Council voted unanimously Saturday night to impose military and
financial sanctions against Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi and his inner circle and to
refer his regime's crackdown on protesters to a war crimes tribunal for an investigation
of possible crimes against humanity. [The Washington Post]

Speaking about Human Rights, why isn't there a way yet to stop mad people BEFORE they
perpetrate genocide and crimes against humanity? It usually takes too long a time before
they come to an end 'spontaneously'... haven't we learned but nothing from the past?

The official seat of the International Criminal Court is in The Hague, but its proceedings
may take place anywhere so we're [I am] expecting to see Gaddafi respond for his crimes
before a Libyan court.
