Paul,
I found another picture of this beast on Google Images
when searching Kenya spider. One site said that Kenya
has no spiders as poisonous as the Black Widow, which
is nasty at best. I assume that if it looks poisonous it
is poisonous. Check this one out http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://savingparadise.wildlifedirect.org/files/2009/09/spider-hand.jpg&imgrefurl=http://savingparadise.wildlifedirect.org/category/sanctuary-at-roche-caiman/&usg=__hwuwxLA145nqIfkoRU4PizCLvKc=&h=489&w=567&sz=69&hl=en&start=22&itbs=1&tbnid=WiHDw_2VWuc_kM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=134&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkenya%2Bspiders%26start%3D20%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1

I was in Kenya December 2009 and used skype over safaricom 3g using my iphone 3gs. Not only was i able to receive calls with my US number but the calls were so clear in nairobi and Kisumu. I was also able to thether to my iphone from my laptop. If you are a heavy data user, i strongly suggest you go for unlimited data.

Whichever way, safaricon is still very expensive to use. I will never recommend it to any1.

Wow, thanks! Wikipedia seems to think they’re a little smaller than mine appears to be. Now that I know I won’t die, I may try to measure it next…

I think this is a Golden Orb Weaver, genus Nephila. Not sure which species. Also known as banana spiders.

It’s about six inches across. i wanted to hold a coin up next to it for scale but I also didn’t want to die.
