A cautionary tale for our friend.

QuoteA man's noisy attempts to kill a spider caused his neighbors to call the police, reporting a suspected violent domestic incident.

Officers in Sydney went to the address after numerous calls were made claiming a woman could be heard screaming hysterically and a man yelling "I'm going to kill you, you're dead. Die! Die!"

QuoteBelow is their transcript of the conversation that followed:

Police: We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?

Male: I don't know what you're talking about, I live alone.

Police: Come on mate, people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit.

Police: Come on mate, what have you done to her?

Male: It was a spider.

Police: Sorry??

Male: It was a spider, a really big one!!

Police: What about the woman screaming?

Male: Yeah sorry that was me, I really, really hate spiders.

What neighbours thought was a serious incidence of domestic violence was in fact the man chasing the arachnid around his home with a can of spider spray.

The police report concluded: "After a very long pause, some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party (apart from the spider) we left."

Pansy.  A guy with even a shred of dignity and/or masculinity does not kill a spider using "bug spray" (professional exterminators like MetalDog don't count).  Sheesh.  ::)

Yeah, but he is in Aus, where some spiders chase you, jump on your face, then kill you, without antidote.

I'm trying to decide whether an enormous spider or those goddamn Elf on a Shelf things is creepier...

You're welcome to her, buddy.  If there was ever a tattoo (which I'm usually perfectly fine with -- I actually like 'em most of the time) that would guarantee me to not want to be near a woman's lady parts, that would do it.  :buck2:

Hey, Big Boy...

QuoteA massive funnel web spider named 'big boy' has been found and turned in to a hospital.

The huge spider, which measured 7.5 centimetres across, was dropped off by a terrified local at the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, New South Wales.

The horrifying creature had venom dripping off its deadly fangs when bushwalker stumbled across it.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
