Reports of a "giant sea spider" have surfaced...

...and I'm crying from laughter.

So I found this Tumblr post going around talking about a giant sea spider in Antarctica, and I couldn't help notice that their spider looks really familiar:

This screen-cap was attached to the post below:

Tumblr is such an intelligence/information suckhole it makes me physically incensed. Here is the story about the Antarctic sea creatures, which the text is taken from; it contains approximately zero photos of “giant sea spiders”. The photo above the text is actually a facehugger, specifically, the iteration of the design from an unused scene from Alien 3. Underneath the screencap I have posted additional photos from the creation of the facehugger maquette/prop.

The post full of bullshit has 36,000 notes. This will likely get 12 or so.

Jesus Christ.


I just think it's funny because anyone from this site can spot a Facehugger from a mile away.

Sadly I can believe that someone would fall for that, not me of course, but still its disappointing to realize how stupid humanity is wholesale.

Edit: Love the title pun by the way.

We can't blame people for being ignorant of what a Facehugger is. But not even trying to find a legit source? REALLY?

Ok that's true, but its not so obscure that the average person wouldn't know about it. Like three people out of seven would know what a facehugger is, I think.

That's gotta make the SFX people from Alien 3 feel pretty good about themselves.

Damn straight.

Hey that looks like the queen face hugger from alien 3. But I know for sure thats not real, I mean, im not stupid enough to fall for something like that, im an A class xeno expert. Is this just a joke or what?


edit: if its a joke then well ok at least it gave me and propbably every one else a good laugh.

^ Being a "class A Xeno expert" is not a prerequisite for seeing through this particular piece of bullshit.

Basic skepticism of bullshit-sounding stories on Tumblr, however, is.
