There's always someone worse off, isn't there.

Just noticed how old the story is. Lucky I didn't put it in News.
It's 'trending on Twitter' for some reason.

I'm jealous!!
Spider bites usually cause swelling.

[Spicerack]

It's hard to believe it was a coincidence.

A natural alternative to Viagra?

I'd rather stick to the acorn.

Now that’s such bad luck , he’s must of been ‘hanging loose’ and incy wincy was a bit hungry

How did they know it was the same spider, that's what I'd like to know?

[pastafreak]

They didn't say it was the same spider...but that it was in the same location. He didn't even know what type of spider it was.

To be bitten on the penis by a spider once is unlucky. Twice smacks of a fetish :-J

[NickorWan]

Indeed, beware of a spider with a fetish.

Reminds me of a very funny (and old) joke ...

I can't remember the details, words to the effect of:

Bruce is at the building site, sitting on the dunny when he feels a bite on his ***. Looking down, he catches a glimpse of a funnel web spider, Oz's most deadly!

He runs out shouting his predicament. The foreman, Barry, says "Sorry Bruce, but we've got no antivenom. Let me call the doc."

Barry calls the doctor to explain that Bruce has been bitten by a funnel web and they have no antivenom.

The doc tells Barry "You're gonna have to suck the venom out, and fast, or Bruce is a gonner."

Barry hangs up.

"Wod the doc say?" asks Bruce, grimacing.

Looking his helpless friend in the eyes, Barry replies "He said you're gonna die, Bruce."
