One for the divers in the group, what are you doing if this happens to you?

Screaming internally id imagine.

Surely every responsible diver carries an anti-spider chicken as part of their emergency kit? I would have thought ...

For those of us who dive but refuse to follow any links to Facebook, what am I missing? or am I better off not knowing?

Easily avoided by theuse if the CDG standard-issue "spider gaurd"

Though it does remind me of a second hand regulator I bought, that came complete with hibernating wasp inside. Fortunately, I took it apart to check it over before before connecting it to a cylinder to try it out!

You can't unsee it, so best not knowing

Just crunch on it? Extra protein to keep your energy levels up?

The "spider gaurd" is actually to keep larger particles of grit out of the regulator when not in use (while in the water) but it would also keep out unwanted guests out, while out of the water.

Presumably one would then need to swallow a bird, cat, dog, and cow, refusing to swallow a horse, of course, in order to avoid the consequences thereof.

But if you do swallow the horse, it'd complete the circle as after you're buried: its going to the worms, then the ducks then...
Maybe that's a Yorkshire problem?
