    That looks suspiciously like a tarantula, Chris. Over here the native strains are non-poisonous (except the ones the hitchhike up from down south). They can still bite with authority, though. Are yours harmless?

      :eek: Run for your lives. Hehe, I found a spider's exoskeleton that it had shed, it was pretty big. I still wonder where the (now bigger) spider is? :~ Bruce Duncan CP#9088, CPUA 0xA1EE, Sonork 100.10030

            Well the weekend is officially over; the partying is almost up; and my bank balance is hovering dangerously near the big red zero again... it's time to get back to work. On the up side, I did get to kiss a man hairer than my father's arse and wear a leopard skin thong... Kiwi Colin said it best - work sucks. I want to be 16 again. :(( Now off to find a glass to catch that spider! ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v.

                  I remember going to a Museum in the States with a friend (from Oz). They showed a tarantula and w oohed and aahed with the appreciation of those who have seen lotsa spiders in their living rooms - and then we read that the bite is no worse than a bee sting. We were so disappointed... The FunnelWeb's are all down the east cost and inland (I've only seen a couple around here) but they are definitely a Real Man's Spider. The one in the pic is a Huntsman - it totally harmless (ie it's bite is like a mild bee sting :P) We've got the disolving flesh spiders too - white tails cheers, Chris Maunder

                        Never urinate in the waterways in the Amazon. There is a little fish that follows the warm water then enters your penis and dies inside. When the flesh decomposes the bones poke out and hurt you. Sorry can't remember the name of the Fish, But I've urinated above water to watch them appear. Anyhow the only way to get the skeleton out is with a scalpel and infection sets in real quick in the tropics. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

Hmmmm. I can't imagine being gay and not being addicted to those beautiful creatures called women. At least you don't have to put up with them during their time of the month. :laugh:

It's ok if you are so don't be afraid to reveal it. I just wonder what your parents would say about not getting any grand children. If you are gay, how do you feel about women? Does the thought of having sex with them repulse you? And would you have sex with one just to see what it's like? Inquiring minds want to know.:-D

Einstein, is that really you? ;P Before I wander off and answer your specific questions, let me explain that over here (and I'd guess almost anywhere else in the world for that matter) alcohol causes people to do and say things they normally wouldn't. In this particular instance, I needed a chair to sit on and the only way I could acomplish this simple goal was to accept a fellow Tivertonian's hand in marriage--no Martin, you do not want to know. Later in the night I was tasked with seeking yet another chair, and upon visiting my newly declared fiancé, ended up tieing myself into a friendly exchange of compliments otherwise known as the pissed-man's-greeting, or (the uncensored version) kissing-a-fucking-hairy-git cause we were both sufficiently rat-arsed to not give a sh!t either way. Like I said, alchol makes you do extremely weird things. However... Martin Marvinski wrote: So you aren't gay? I am eighteen years old, I still have at least three ten-year sexual perversions and a mid life crisis to go - not to mention the rest of the stuff life will throw at me. So who the hell am I to say? Taking into consideration what every sexual and emotional issues teacher has ever taught me, I will never be able to answer that question truthly. I think my biggest attribute that causes confusion is that I really don't have an issue with flirting with anyone, bar my parents, and I don't give a damn if my humour can appear camp - which to more conservative people comes across too in-your-face for their liking. Personally I don't see any difference in the drive behind it, merely the fact that for some people like me it just really doesn't mean anything. Cleverly avoided no? Martin Marvinski wrote: It's ok if you are so don't be afraid to reveal it Why would I be afraid, Einstein? Honestly, when have I ever held back anything from you guys? ;) Martin Marvinski wrote: I just wonder what your parents would say about not getting any grand children. Well I would seriously hope that whatever they thought, they would not, ever, consider telling me. I have no commitment to provide them with a new generation of Wulff cubs. However, that said, I'd like to have kids of my own later in my life - if for no other reason than to see how good or bad a job I could make of it. Life's one big experience,
