Creepy Story
Apparently its completely true. This
bloke and his family were on holiday in the States and went to
Mexico for a week. As he is an avid cactus fan he bought a rare
and expensive cactus there, it was about a metre high and cost
about $500 . He got it home and the customs people were none too
impressed so they said it must stay in quarantine for 3 months,
cost - $800 or so.
He finally got his cactus
home and planted it in his backyard where over time it grew to
about 2 metres or so in height. One evening after a beautiful
warm spring day he was out watering his garden and thought he
might give the cactus a light spray. This he did and was amazed
to see the plant shiver all over, he gave it another light spray
and it shivered and shook again. All its arms moved. He was puzzled
so he rang the council who put him on to the state gardens. After
a few transfers he got the states foremost cactus expert who asked
him many pointed questions, how tall is it, how tall was it when
you got it, has it grown well, has it flowered, what type of spines
etc etc.
Finally he asked a most
disturbing question, "Is your family in the house?".
The guy answered yes,
the cactus expert said get them out of the house. NOW, get on
to the front nature strip and wait for me, I will be there in
15 minutes.
Ten minutes later, 2
fire trucks, two cop cars and an ambulance came screaming around
the corner at the end of the street and stopped out the front
of the house. A fireman got out and came up to him, " are you
the guy with the cactus?". I am he said. The fireman turns to
the truck and says 'come on Dave'. A guy jumps out of the fire
truck wearing what looks like a space suit, a breathing cylinder
and mask attached and what looks like a scuba backpack on with
a large hose attached. Stay here, says the first fireman, and
they both headed for the backyard.
This was too much for
the bloke so he ran around after them and found the guy in the
space suit was torching his prize cactus with a flame-thrower,
he sprayed it up and down with this huge flame which fried everything
within a ten metre radius of the cactus, caught fire to the back
fence and set off the neighbors trees as well.
The guy of course was
having kittens, what the $%^& is going on etc.etc., after about
ten minutes the flame thrower man stopped, his cactus stood there
smoking and spitting, half the fence was gone, his garden was
entirely rooted.
Just then the cactus
expert appears and laid a calming hand on the guys shoulder. "What
the hell is going on?" says the bloke, 'let me show you says the
cactus man. He went over to the cactus and picked away at a crusty
bit of it, it was almost entirely hollow and filled with these
tiger striped bird eating tarantula spiders, about the size of
two hands spans.
The story was that this
type of spider lays eggs in this type of cactus and they hatch
and live in it as it and they grow to full size. When they are
all grown to full size they release themselves, the cactus just
explodes and about 150 of these plate size tiger striped hairy
spiders are flung from it, dispersing everywhere of course. They
had been just ready to pop!
Can you imagine???????????
The aftermath was that
his house and the two houses adjoining on each side had to be
vacated and fumigated and sealed up for two weeks, yellow police
tape was put up outside the whole area and no one was allowed
in for two weeks, then they gave the all clear and they could
move back in.
Creepy eh?
