Giant Spiders from Allah One man's miracle is another man's nightmare.
  • This is so much more outrageous than frogs, gnats, flies, locusts, and boils.
  • EEEK! Waist-high spiders make man talk-sick! So Americans toss him into a white or black bag and fling it in a lake which proves to be a mirage. Like so much else in and about this strange and seely land.
  • I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure.
  • I want to believe.
  • "O where did you come from, Spider dear?" "Why, I fell from Allah's miracle-bag, into the Here, Then I chased those wretched soldiers everywhere! Tut-tut, dear sir, you need not sneer! For at last I starred on Dubai's Televison channel. With their own eyes Folk saw me. The sheik held me up and waved me around Before setting me back on this very ground. And thus in sooth my tale is told, with no need to revise."
