So everyone has heard of Australia and its copious levels of Mines, but have you all heard of the evil conspiracy that Australian Mining and your government don’t want you to know about. An insidious sludge working its way from Mines to your doorstep, crossing oceans, flying planes and working in Mines. Yea that’s right AUSTRALIAN MINING SPIDERS.
They will all tell you that I am crazy but I’m not, I was once a miner working in these mines and I know a thing or two about these little buggers that will infest your home, scam your children, eat your wife and then burn the place down just to top it off. I’m not kidding.
If you have ever seen a spider before then you will know that there is a couple of features that are universal to all arachnids. Eight legs, eight eyes and fangs are the gist of it. Well I’ve got news for you. These AUSTRALIAN MINING SPIDERS do not have eight legs, they are miners, and therefore have eight pickaxes protruding from a swollen torso, complete with torch located in the middle of their hairy chests. They live in mines and despite having a built in flash light the spiders feel no need to have any sort of vision so they have eight less eyes then your average Australian spider, so none. Australian scientists have spent years trying to find out why the AUSTRALIAN MINING SPIDER has a torch when it does not have any eyes and after losing half of their party deep within the mine they discovered that the torch was in fact there to entice idiotic scientists to wander deep into the mine where they could be eaten at the spiders leisure. This was a momentous discovery for the scientists and they were more than happy to accept their lost co-workers paychecks on their behalf.
“Why should I care about some bloody Australian Spiders that all live in bloody Australian Mines?” You ask, “Well my slow witted friend,” I respond, “A. Because I told you to, and B. Because they want to kill you, now would you please shut up and let me finish my story?”
Australian Mining Spiders may once have been happy to remain trapped underground, working long hours for their miner overlords. But once the amended scientific expedition returned from the Mines after studying the spiders, and the spiders had finished digesting the less intelligent of the group, one of the spiders had an idea. His name was ‘The Great Australian Mining Spider’, and while his species is normally the size of an ant this spider had grown to an enormous size rivaling that of a small baby elephant. Now ‘The Great Australian Mining Spider’ had recently devoured the leader of the scientific party who had become the leader of said party through the use of some highly potent, highly illegal, intelligence increasing drugs which happened to be in his pocket as he was devoured. So the super intelligent Great Australian Mining Spider stood up in from of his large extended family, his pickaxe legs scratching deep groves in the mine floor, and said in his deep booming spider voice,”my brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and assorted uncles and aunties, today we have changed a species. No more must we hide in caves tempting fools to their deaths with out lights, no more will we put up with the constant drilling and mining of our homes. We must stand, and we must fight, so that one day when you and your children ask “whats for dinner?” we will always have an answer.”
With that the Great Australian Mining Spider and no less than 1 billion of his tiny little relatives surged from the mine killing everyone and everything they came across. Foolish victims ran screaming, which was the only way the spiders could find them being blind and all, and were rapidly chased down by what survivors describe as a moving sea of black dust led by the Great Australian Mining Spider who laughed merrily the entire way across the country.
Fame can be a fickle friend though and after being fired from his role as the Australian Olympic Mascot for eating their biggest contender, the Great Australian Mining Spider was killed by a scam artist over his refusal to pay 50c for a renewed subscription to Socialite Monthly.
