"Average Guy"? :cool:

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

In Black Widow society, a male about to copulate and die is referred to as "Mr. Happy," because, I am told, the orgasm is not only a quick death, but lasts for eternity. Compare that bliss to the sad fate of males of other so-called "higher" species, who, as the learned Galen comments: "post coitum omne animal triste est, sive gallus et mulier."

«If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'» What does that tell you about sanity in these times?

Pub question: If you were the male variety of the Black Widow spider and knew beforehand that getting your leg over would very likely culminate in being digested alive, would you still do it? Most common answer seems to be, yeah, probably.

I'm just wondering what the male is called,

Latrodectus mactans

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I'd pretend I was in to Bondage and insist on tying them up first. I mean they create webs FFS why hasn't one of them thought of this already?

Well if I were to project Black Widows to humans - i.e. add the rational side as opposed to just biological reproduction, I am very sure that you could find people that would say no. I would probably go for no as I don't yet see the need to reproduce other than it being fun and I have other activities to keep me busy. The premise of death would also negate my interest greatly. Because we humans do have fun activities that could result in our death and we don't necessarily do it. But at some point in my life I would want to prolong our species even if that means death as death in itself is inevitable anyway.

Spiders are stoopid.

Can't do that, it'll cause riots in the US every time they see a spider on TV...

So true. You hurt my feelings. Well, gotta riot now. You looked at me funny. Well, gotta burn your store down now. Rioting and looting is the new social pastime of America, and maybe the world (if it catches on).
