As a child, we had a pet tarantula. We used to hold him and when my brother and I traded him off we would blow on him/her to make it walk onto the other persons hand/arm...whatever.
Anyway, we were recently given a trivia question at work regarding tarantulas and the question was: How do you get a tarantula off of you? The answer was to bounce up and down. Blowing on the tarantula also works, correct?
