World’s Deadliest Spider Found In Supermarket

September 6, 2008 | Filed by Boner | Leave a Comment

Under a crate of bananas originating from South America, a supermarket worker discovered a spider so deadly that the UK supermarket had to be closed until the creature was hunted down.

25-year-old Kate Whitmore said, “I looked down and noticed this thing. I screamed for my supervisor,” the shop worker told the [Daily Mail of London]. “I’m not usually scared of spiders, but it was huge and creepy and had long hairy legs.”

Animal welfare workers were brought in to hunt down the Brazilian Wandering Spider, a species so deadly, it is credited with killing more humans than any other species of spider. It has even earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most venomous animal in the world.

A worker from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was called in to capture the hairy legged beast. “It was very aggressive and trying to go for me when I was putting it in the box, it was really jumping around and trying to attack me.”

PETA’s Worst-Dressed Celebrities of 2008

February 21, 2008 | Filed by Boner | Leave a Comment

People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) has named its worst-dressed celebrities for 2008.

Aretha Franklin has topped the list because she continues to wear fur. PETA wrote of the chunky diva, “Aretha, when you waddled into the Grammys in yet another vulgar fur, you looked as if you were going to perform ‘I Am The Walrus’ by The Beatles.”

Other celebrities on the list included Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss and Kylie Minogue.

Androgynous rocker Marilyn Manson was also named for wearing leather pants. PETA said, “As if wearing dead animals isn’t foul enough, Manson says that he wears his cow-skin pants 24/7, only peeling the smelly things off to have sex. That alone should be enough to tarnish leather’s dated sex appeal.”
