I don't mean to put down your black widow spider, but the funnel-web spider can kill a man in eight seconds, just by lookin' at him.

I was all ready to volunteer to set funnel web spiders on women's breasts until I understood these are not the cute little American funnel web spiders that scatter dew-covered webs across lawns (Agelenopsis, I think). They are killer Australian funnel web spiders that could probably take out a cassowary with seven legs tied behind their backs.

Go. I'm not getting anywhere near those damn things

More breasts for me, subby!

The Hobo spider. You do NOT want to be bitten by one of them. They make the brown recluse look like Peter Pan. If they want to gather up these nasty little buggers then can come to my house and take as many as they want. I kill 10+ a week inside my house.

Well I learned to never live in the area where you live.

ORLY?

In the United States, the hobo spider has been considered to be a dangerous species based on a toxicology study on rabbits where lesions appeared after spiders were induced to bite the rabbits.[8] This laboratory study has led to the proposal that in some parts of the U.S. nearly all bites imputed to the brown recluse spider are in reality the hobo spider's bite.[9] The CDC and other U.S. government agencies (e.g. [2]) have also used this same study as the basis for a report claiming that the hobo spider bite causes necrosis in humans,[1] despite the absence of any confirmed cases. Subsequent attempts to replicate the study by injecting sufficient venom to ensure envenomation have failed to produce necrotic lesions, and there is even question as to whether the lesions observed in the original study were necrotic.[10]

On one hand, you should be aware of potential threats. On the other hand, you should chill out francis as well.

No need to worry about what might be until it happens. I try to avoid ALL spider bites because even if they're almost harmless and small they're still annoying.
