I think they’re big problems in Eastern Australia…but since Rudora and Otakon are the only aussies here and I have wished many a pox upon them both, all I can say is, Bah!
…OK, that’s just not catchy. Can’t you get it to bite your genitals instead? Then you would be Spiderwang! And all the ladies would want you to impregnate them so they could have superhero childeren.
Originally posted by Mabatsekker Could someone explain what actually happens inside that guy’s hand after the bite? I assume some poison does nasty stuff and all, but what exactly?
Poison causes the area to swell up. After it can’t swell any further, the poison leaks and eats away at the skin.

It literally ate his hand up. Spiders use their poison not only to immobilize and kill their prey but also to help digesting them (help - it doesn’t do the whole thing). The guy’s hand had swolen because it got infected with microbes (open wound, no proper cleaning…).
Originally posted by Gamer5389 Don’t you have to die to be in the Darwin Awards or are the honorable mentions the people who are stupid but didn’t die?
The award goes to those who are ultra-stupid and won’t have their genes spreading on Earth anymore. Most times this happens via death + having had no children, but I remember seeing at least 3 awards that came by castration and one related to an old woman who killed her son in an accident (she started the car in reverse thinking it was on first gear. Her son was behind the car. Behind him there was a wall. Figure.).
