They found a 390 million year old fossil of an 8 foot long scorpion. What do you think of that?

yikes!! It is bad enough I have to deal with the ones that only measure inches. I can't imagine one that large!! I would need a much larger foot to stomp on it (okay, so my husband would need the much larger foot...)

i'd say pass me whatever the hell yr smoking kid.

I just read about! I think that's crazy!!!
-
I'm really glad that they don't exist anymore and it's just a fossil today. That's really scarey!
-
I think it's a big scorpion.
-
Very cool; the earth's largest bug! :-)

I think it is pretty cool, and it makes me glad I was not alive 390 million years ago. Revenge of the bugs!

Wow, thats a big arse bug. No wonder the Dinosaurs become extint. Probably just minding their own business eating a local cave man or tree then out of nowhere step backwards & then a scorpion strike them right in the heel. Gosh, thats a scarey thought. I'll have night mares now,lol.

I'm beginning to think spiders are cute.

How big were the exterminators back then???

OK... I know this because I'm terrified of bugs. 1. Insects breathe through tiny holes in their ecto-skeleton. 2. There is an economy of scale involved. If a bug gets to big, this form of respiration will no longer be effective. 3. This is why bugs do not get really big like in the movies. 4. This is why this story is not true. 5. I'm doing the icky dance as I type this. 6. I REALLY HATE BUGS.
