Question Spider Tv Programme Question?

Mates at work said that the little guy in Lost and Lord Of The Rings is going to star in a programme where they go to an Island to find a spider that hasnt been seen for 100 years. Apparently its abdomin is the size of a dinner plate. They have 1 on show somewhere but want to catch another to run tests on it. Does anyone know anything about this programme, wouldnt mind watching it

Talking

Sounds like a channel 5 documentary to me... " The spider with a 1ft Arse" followed by " The Cross Dressing Hippo" and " The Boy with 7 noses" Sounds excellent.

Cant wait to miss it.

The surface area to volume ratio would be too small for it to even move (unless it's grown a pair of lungs!)

i dont think it would be able to have an exoskeleton strong enough for that tbh. If it was strong enough, it would be too heavy.
But as you said, without any respiration then there is no chance, lol

They may have meant that the T is the size of a plate, not just its arse end.
