The 56-year-old man was at a nudist colony near Bowral, about 100 km (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 petrol down the hole and then lit a match in an attempt to kill the offending arachnid. "The exploding petrol fumes left the man with burns to 18 percent of his body, on the upper leg and buttocks," the NRMA Careflight helicopter rescue service said in a statement. It said the man's lack of clothing probably contributed to the extent of his burns. "The fate of the bunkered spider was unknown, although other guests at the resort thought it was probably a harmless trapdoor spider and not a deadly funnel web," the statement said. NRMA Careflight said it was called to a property in the same area in January when another man kicked a spider that was crawling up the wall of a friend's cabin. The man broke his leg in two places, it said. |

Do ya think? Good thing none of them tend bees. I understand the whole nudist lifestyle thing, and it is fine to degrees under proper conditions. But there is a reason clothing was developed and it wasn't because someone said nudity was evil. |

Ahhhh... I just LOVE this place. I can always count on some things. And Steyr getting his jab in at religion is as regular as my bowel movements. Plus, they're both made of the same substance...

That wasn't a jab at religion. I was basically saying religion ISN'T to blame. Jeeze, some of you guys.
