RyviaUSA Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If I pay extra, can I be guaranteed one? ? I'm definitely demented and have a sick sense of humor, and every time I get a glorious package I'm always thinking "hmmm I hope one of the 10,000 things in Australia that can kill me didn't make its way in to this box!" Please tell me at least someone out there has thought the same. PS - more little cohibas sitting in the tuppidor slowly sucking in that sweet, sweet humidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerPimp Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 When I worked at a grocery store in high school we got a shipment of grapes from Chile that had several black widows in them. Kinda scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda scary. A few years back I brought home some grapes that had one. A little surprising when I reached in the bowl I'd put them in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yep. Funnel Web spiders don't travel much. Redbacks, on the other hand, love to travel. Osaka had an infestation of them back in the mid 90s. I think it is still a problem over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scap99 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I've been overrun with brown widow spiders since hurricane Harvey. You can come grab all you want. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyviaUSA Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I was mostly kidding, but if a black widow ever emerges from something inside my house then disappears.... I guess you have to burn down your house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokyFontaine Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm not good with statistics...or science and math, or really facts and logic, so take it with a grain of salt, but I've done the calculations and I'm quite certain the chance is 100%. Smoke them quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
