Australia really got the bitch end of the stick with spiders. Not only do they have the Sydney Funnel Web, which is like Darth Vader on speed, the Red Back, which is a black widow that says "Mate", and a plethora of none-lethal species still venomous enough to ruin your day faster than a Nickelback song on rush-hour radio, they also have a small invasion problem with the Brazilian Wandering Spider.

This spider is the source material for the legends of tropical spiders on banana bunches, as well as the novel Fifty Shades of Nope. It's as venomous as the Funnel Web, and subscribes to the same social policy of "bite first, ask questions later". It's a hunting spider, which makes it even more terrifying. It doesn't build a web to catch prey; it goes out and hunts it down. It's fast as fuck, and in its native land of SE Brazil and Paraguay, it is famous for, well, everything I just told you.

It's lethal, vicious, presumptuous, and travels on banana boats. It's the king of "Fuck this shit".

Several Attenborough series have been accompanied by a non-fiction book of the same name.

According to the article posted in the AMA post, the daughter was imitating poses from fashion magazines. The use of those pictures was not mentioned, but it's a relatively safe bet they were not going to be published online. If they were, I imagine that the only photo that did show the daughter in a compromising position was not going to be among those published.

The daughter sent the photos to her own inbox. Thus they remain her property.

Jesus, am I the only one around here who read the fucking article?

Well, Alan Moore fucking hates you.

He fucking hates me.

To be honest, I think he fucking hates everything now. But he was fairly dead-on when it came to Frank Miller.
