8 of 10.
however:

The first photo IS real and NOT DOCTORED an any way and IS of real camel spiders, however due to an optical illusion caused by the angle of the photo it appears as if they are way larger than they really are. The emails about there size and jumping capability ARE greatly exaggerated though.

9 out of 10

I wish I could have an army of giant cats though, that would be so sweet! except for the litterbox, jeebus

Bah, 5/10... thought I've heard of those spiders somewhere before though... would have scored a lot less if it wouldn't have been for the awesome website: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com. If you don't want to be fooled by those nasty hoax emails, fake celebrity blogsites and photoshopped pictures, check this site regularly.

Well I tried to do that and I got that wrong, but those were genuine camel spiders.

We talked about 'em a bit here.

yeah! I thought that thing was familiar. To get a better look at the spider and get it's real size, try to compare it to the soldier's sleve in the foreground rather than the pair of legs in the background.

I got 8 outa 10.

I fell for the camel spider and Satan's face in the WTC (thought the spider was real and felt that the other photo looked like something straight from the pages of the World Weekly News)

The spiders were real, they are scoring on the hoax associated with it (I think), else they don't entirely do their homework.

I only got 6, too. I'm okay with that. Being a bit gullible makes it easier to enjoy movies and books.
