They picked the best angle shot to make the spider look even bigger than it is. It's still a monster, but that bird is basically a finch. It looks like a duck from that angle!

How cool is that though? Should see the size of the fangs on it in one of the other shots!

I actually heard about this photo on ABC FM while sitting in the car playing Taxi Driver for a family member yesterday. I deliberately didn't look the picture up and now I know why.
I believe if I saw that IRL I would actually faint :argh:

Better pic, the one Hiss referenced methinks... you can see it's abdomen better, and the size of it's fangs.

If I saw that in my backyard, I'd move.

Countries.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees

and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

I think the fact that it's not hairy makes it worse.

We've been desensitised to hairy spiders like tarantulas, and I think most people know they aren't dangerous to humans anyway. Hairy things also have an inate cudliness which takes the edge off the freakiness.

That thing just looks evil.
