I'm NEVER going to Australia


I've always wanted to visit Australia. I've had friends and colleagues visit there and return telling me how awesome it was. It sure sounds like a great place but given my irrational loathing of spiders verging on arachnophobia, I think I'll have to pass.
THIS amazing image of a mammoth spider devouring a bird was taken in the backyard of a property near Cairns.

The image, which is being cirulated via email worldwide, is real, according to wildlife experts, The Cairns Post reported.
Nope. No. Fucking. Way.

Don't be a pansy. The bird is already dead. Mostly. From the spider bite.

Besides, it's a small spider, compared to camel spiders...

You are more likely to die from a blood clot that forms during the endless flight to Oz, or acute alcohol poisoning from trying to keep up with Aussies at breakfast...

You'd just need a can of Raid.

I think you can get it in 1/4 keg size. It's called "VX".
