Huge arachnid with leg span of 13-inches found in Laotian cave. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/49435285/ns ... e=obinsite Doesn't look very vicious, though. :rofl:

That scale they were using is 13 centimeters not inches. Look at the divisions between the numbers. There are 10 not 8 or 16.

The scale was indeed graduated in centimeters. The critter in question spans the entire length of the 30cm scale, plus.
