Jeez jfred, I didn't think you'd disclose the conspiracy. Like X, I quite like to argue, but sometimes I end up arguing with myself. Then, it gets really bad and I lose the argument. Or just end up confused. I think it's something to do with Goedel Escher Bach stuff, or Goedel's theorem or maybe just lack of free will. Or maybe too much of it. Yeah, too much! You should NOT bite spiders jfred, especially when hallucinating. <I'll tell you about my exciting hallucinatory spider bite experience later > Fancy Rambi calling her son "Ammo" in the USA. That could be misconstrued in the schoolyard with a trigger-happy security guard going berserk as a result. Mqurice

Re Spider-bite. Darwin Awards here: darwinawards.com <30 July 1999, California) Ken from Carlsbad accepted a dare and kissed a snake, landing himself in mortal danger yesterday. Ken proudly bragged to his friends about a deadly young rattlesnake that he had taken into captivity the week before. They teased him by calling him a "snake lover," and they urged, "kiss your girlfriend, Ken." When he did, the 3-foot rattler bit him on the lower lip and pumped its sac of venom into the unfortunate man. His head and throat swelled to 2x normal size, and Emergency Room personnel pumped vial after vial of antivenin into his bloodstream in a fight for his life. After 3 hours of intubation and 25 doses of antivenin, Ken was out of danger at the Tri-City Medical Center. The swelling from snakebite can cause necrosis of the affected tissue, and Ken might have lost part of his face. He was fortunate, and will only see bruised and stretched facial skin in the mirror. But he will suffer the consequences of his foolish act for weeks, as flu-like symptoms set in, caused by an immune response to antivenin. Dr. Neil Joebchen was quoted, "In 26 years, this is the worst case I've seen. His muscles were quivering like he had worms under the skin." > For some strange reason, most of the Darwin Awards go to men. I guess that confirms the 'women don't do real bloke stuff' theory.

I'll tell you about my exciting hallucinatory spider bite experience later. Uh-huh. I drop by to see what's going on around here, and I read THIS! Where's the story, dammit?! I didn't come all the way over here just to be told that you had an exciting hallucinatory spider bite experience, but then NO STORY to go with it. Jeez... (stomp, stomp, stomp )

I'll tell you about my exciting hallucinatory spider bite experience later. Mq-rice is right. You are far too old to be biting spiders. Perhaps you were having a real bloke stuff attack? Although I am unclear if it was you or the spider who was hallucinating. Becuase that makes a difference. If you were, then we want to know what you were on and whether you really bit the spider or merely hallucinated the biting of the spider. And if it was the spider, well, you were just silly, because everyone knows that hallucinating spiders are extremely dangerous. Arachnid research has shown that, while it is rare, violent psychotic breaks can occur in a certain species of LA spiders in July. We eagerly await clarification.
