Cool?

Maybe not but probably one of the most famous photos from the war of any single soldier, and one which shows the full strain of war on a human being. An SS-Schütze from the Waffen-SS LSSAH during the Ardennes Offensive (the Battle of the Bulge). He's never been 100% identified but some have said he's 23 year old Hans Tragarsky.

One of those photos taken at the exact perfect time.

Call that a spider? That's a bloody speck of dirt mate

Our garden (and occasionally house) back in Melbourne was infested with these buggers...

What really freaked me about them is that they're so big you get eye-shine from them when you put a torch/flashlight on them.

Unlike a tarantula they are ludicrously fast too.

Can't say I miss them
