Scientists Find Fossil of World's Biggest Bug

British scineitst have stumbled across a fossilized claw, part of an ancient sea scorpion, that is of such large proportion it would make the entire creature the biggest bug ever. This is a bug you couldn't swat and definitely couldn't step on. How big is it? It would be bigger than you and at 8 feet long as big as some Smart cars. The discoverers suggests that spiders, insects, crabs and similar creatures were far larger in the past than previously thought. I don't like bugs and spiders to begin with and I sure wouldn't want to run into any of these.
