Talking Spider-hunting nudist burns own buns

This story made me laugh......

SYDNEY - A red-faced Australian nudist who tried to set fire to what he thought was a deadly funnel web spider's nest ended up with badly burned buttocks, emergency officials said on Monday.
The 56-year-old man was at a nudist colony near Bowral, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) southwest of Sydney, on Sunday when he spotted what he believed to be a funnel web spider hole.
Ambulance workers, including a helicopter crew, were called to the scene after the man poured gasoline down the hole and then lit a match in an attempt to kill the offending arachnid.

See the rest of the article on MSNBC.com

That is one serious case of arachnaphobia.

Interestingly enough, the petrol probably would have killed it without lighting a match.

Okay, I'm trying to figure out just how he did this. You would think that he would burn the front of his body doing this. Unless of course he was lighting a fart to start the fire.



Nudists seem to really hate spiders.

That was his way of telling the spider that 'the end is near.'

I'd say that when the thing blew up.. he had the natural reaction to turn around (twisting), cross his arms above his head (in case somehting fell) and bend forwards (like hiding)...

this would definately leave his buttocks in a "vulnerable" position..

and NO... I'm not saying this by personnal experience lol.. just by imagination

It was her birthday and I was lighting farts. She got a little too close to me and it singed her eyebrows. She was running around and caught the trailer on fire. I called the fire department, they couldn't find us nowhere and we had to meet them halfway. Good thing we ran a couple of red lights, otherwise we woulda lost the whole kitchen on that place.

That's why you should light your farts outside. Didn't you read the safety manual?

Nope.

I had to learn everything on my own.

Dammit.

Dude...

If you lost your manual it's your own fault. You can't just go around saying that it wasn't there in the box.

Yes I can. I think somebody borrowed it and forgot to return it. I'm sure I was busy at the time.

The nudist must have left his manual in his other pants.

I think she has been hanging around me to long.

My current agrievment is with a customer who can't clean his printers printheads. When I told him to read the manual, and yes I did tell him to, cause he is a pinhead, he replied that he didn't get one in the sealed printer box from the manufacturer. Idiot.

Don't worry though, I told him he could probably find a copy of the manual on Epson's website.

Just for giggles it took me about 30 seconds to go to the website, find the manual, find a quick reference guide, go to the maintenance section and learn how to clean the printhead.

BACK to the burning ASS!

Yes I am sure the petrol would have killed the spider......

but then the spider wouldn't have gotten to exprience HELL! I applaud the guys attempt at making that bastard suffer, even if it turned out poorly for him.

DEATH TO THE ARACHNID!

I'll admit that was the first thing that popped into my head when FlyinM said he didn't get one. Haha.

I think ODB is right about the nudist's other pants.
