I'm pretty sure that's not photo-shopped. Forgot the name of that spider, but they get friggen huge.
Jeebus... I'd reccommend killing it, if I could also reccommend a good way of doing so.
Bullets or arrows would work well, but they can damage walls if they miss. A thrown hiking boot would work better due to a larger surface area, especially if Parce has large feet. However, a hiking boot thrown fast enough to kill a spider that size would put a huge dent into a wall if it missed. Melee weapons such as swords and knives are even worse ideas. The "kill it with fire" option will work without a doubt, but that will cause damage to the house for sure.

Lysol and a lighter. Catch web on fire, spider and web burn, fire stops at the end of the web.
I've done it.
Unless the walls are flammible.

And the spider wouldn't simply leave its web and find a new place to make one?
Case in point: A few weeks ago, I was sitting here at my computer at work, busy typing away on a project. I feel something moving on my shirt and glance down. Only an inch or two away from my face, crawling up my shirt was a huge cockroach (about 3+ inches long I swear and fat..) I've never really been scared of cockroaches either, though they are nasty things that I usually kill or dispose of right away, but finding one that close to my face freaked me out. I kicked back on my rolling chair and swatted backhand at the offending vermin but he wouldn't let go! I kept swatting and rolling back until I hit the backwall of my cubicle where I proceeded to stand in a hurry and finally batted the clingy monster off. Then the bastard proceeds to frolic around the nearby cubicles in our office, fleeing my attempts at retribution! Eventually, I stomped on the little bugger.
Also, I thought I'd read somewhere that people on average swallowed 8 spiders (spiders/bugs?) per year while sleeping. Snopes offered no help on this urban legend.

That's why you aim at the spider.

In other news, I found a black widow in my room yesterday! FUN! It was already dead though, strangely. I am so paranoid one of my cats is going to find one, and then, yeah...it's all over.

Snoota's fortune cookie read:
I woke up one morning with a huge Tarantula sitting on my wall about three feet from my face.I am no longer afraid of spiders. That just can't be topped, unless I woke up with it in my bed with me.
My friend had that happen to her. She told me she started mashing the spider into her pillowcase, screaming so loud the whole time that half her family ran it to see what the matter was. She probably threw the case away, after that. Really, talk about unrational

Ares had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
No, mirror. If it was on the chapstick I would have thrown the tube through the mirror.
I can pick up snakes, rodents, worms, lizards, frogs, toads.. actually I go looking for them.. Just keep ugly mean spiders away...
And centipedes.
Yeah 
Frogs rule Right on
Centipedes are pretty bad, but leeches are the worst. The only creature on this planet (that we've discovered thusfar) that can make me shriek unendingly is a big, fat leech stuck to me. Holy shit...yes. Africa? Pass. Kait fucked around with this message on 07-11-2005 at 09:54 PM.

leckzilla! impressed everyone with:
I can't believe I was daft enough to actually read this whole thread with pictures. You all need to fucking die. I'm fully aware that there probably isn't a spider that big in existance over here, but I still won't sleep for a week.
Personally, I'm more afraid of poisonous spiders than I am of big ones. Well, as scared as I am of any non-leech creature, that is. Baby rattlers, for instance, are much scarier than, say, a python. Yeah a python might kill you if you let it, but a baby sees you, freaks out, sinks in and doesn't let go until you're long dead. Which would you rather tangle with? o.o
