Me, my wife, and my 22 year old son are all atheist, and we tend to be a rather cautious lot.

I like adventure and have done jumping of a bridge and have done a survival hike or two,loving the outdoors, but no not what you are talking about, my son is hyperactive and sounds more like you, loves to do crazy things, skateboarding , BMX,Jumping of the roof with arms pulled into their chest, my best when they got the recipe for fake blood, lloked like something from a horror movie, catching snakes on the farm , two pet scorpians, and one ugly spider called Betsie for a pet.

Just a personal opinion, Jorita, but I think Betsy would look a lot nicer if she was flatter :)

She would escape and my daughter would catch her and they bite like hell they also eat cheese grillers. Only two years after Betsie passing away did I find out that there was Betsie the first, 2nd and 3rd. They get to about the size of your hand and are realy fast, but so UGLY!

Actually, that is a Solifuge, and while it is a member of the Arachnid family, it is not a true Spider.

Exactly, both Solifugae and Scorpion(e)s are members of the Dromopoda family of Arachnids.

I got stung twice by a Scorpion from a friend of mine, once for a dare, once accidental, both were not pleasant and that scorpion was about the least dangerous/venomous scorpion. 

Truly remarkable and wonderful animals, albeit a bit of an acquired taste I guess.

Thanks for feeding the nerd in me!
