Is it tattooed on your left buttock? "it is not possible for us to test the toxicity of the spider because of international codes of ethics and amnesty international (for some bizarre reason)" ~The bizarre reason probably has something to do with it being unethical to inject poison/venom (whatever) into human beings and observe the effect. Not that AI has any legal standing to prevent it. And not that we don't allow the government to inject deadly chemicals into certain people...in Texas, anyway... “but in Australia, and New Zealand, you can be fined $1000 for falsifying your census results”

Note:Anything that injects a toxin by fang/claw or any pierce method is a venom, not a poison.

I was always told they were harmless and had played with several as a child. That brown recluse stuff is true though. nasty little critters.

It's real because the filmmakers were arrested and sentenced to 3 years in prison. They also believed that they killed people but it was proven false.
