They are known to chase down women who smoke cigarettes.

Then they bum the last one.

Really, no sh!t. I have it on reliable source.

Hey, I'm laying off the convoys for a while. Hope you understand.

Oh, they do, do they? Messing with my cigarettes these days is almost as dangerous as trying to cut off the chocolate supply. There'll be some real sorry camel spiders if they try any stunts like that.

Yeah, I undersand about laying off the convoys. I'm glad you're doing that. In fact, we're confined to home base right now.

A hunting camel spider runs across the desert floor almost at lightning speed, and it is so fast that it is impossible for the human eye to follow... In the past they were considered venomous and extremely dangerous...

While I certainly wouldn't want to come within several miles of one of these things, these two statements didn't pass the smell test and the whole thing cried out for a Snopes check, or at least an evaluation for journalist responsibility. Thank goodness someone checked in with some sensible qualifications.

Good grief -- "impossible for the human eye to follow"? Difficult to see, maybe. But considering that a baseball player can follow and make intelligent decisions about the course of a small sphere approaching him at nearly 100mph from 60 feet away, it really shows you what a preposterous, irresponsible statement this is.

"considered venomous"? Well, it's either venomous, or it's not.

Sheesh...
