why do they always want to blame the spider?















an australian man is blaming a funnel-web spider bite for kidnapping and raping a woman in 1997. i know we hear this excuse A LOT, because it makes such perfect sense, but it never ceases to startle me.

i think of all the poor kidnapper-rapists who have been forced to commit acts of violence due to spider venom, and i get a little choked up. such nice people, you know, and then one-little-spider bite and suddenly against their will they kidnap and rape, sigh.

i think someone should definitely start an international Spider Bite Taskforce to look into this pressing issue, asap. i wonder if anyone even bothered to look into this when ted bundy was finally caught. it might've explained so much.
