    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

      As long as it isn't one of those Sydney Funnel Spiders I have heard about. Supposed to make the poisonous tarantulas look like poofdas. :eek: Though I have always thought that a quick death would be preferable to those wolf spider thingees we have. The ones whose venom slowly dissolves your flesh off. X| You probably remember what the disolving flesh spiders are called Roger. I would suppose that you probably drink with the damn things on weekends out there in Bullhead. After all, its them or the women right? :laugh:

      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

They're sociable enough in dark places, have no lack of teeth, and are born with the only tatoo they'll ever have.:-D

There's nothing down here that you can't simply get up and walk (briskly) away from. As long as you spot them before they spot you. And as long as they don't fall into the category of shark, crocs, jellyfish, drop bear or carnivorous sheep. cheers, Chris Maunder

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
