I have to love it when a fellow countryman makes a total ass of themselves.
SYDNEY (Reuters) - A red-faced Australian nudist who tried to set fire to what he thought was a deadly funnel web spider's nest ended up with badly burned buttocks, emergency officials said Monday.I personally believe a person should be able to go around naked as much as they please, and New South Wales North Coast certainly has the climate for it, but there are occasions where it might be sensible to put some clothes on.
The 56-year-old man was at a nudist colony near Bowral, about 60 miles southwest of Sydney, Sunday when he spotted what he believed to be a funnel web spider hole.The funnel web is one of Australia's many species of poisonous spiders, I've had run-ins with them myself, so it's understandable why he would want to rid the area of them.
"The exploding gasoline 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.Moral of the story is, if you're going to commit arson, put on some pants.
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.Oh well shit. Dickhead deserved to get burnt.

I just wanted to say GREAT BLOG!!!
Aw shucks, I'm blushing now.
You know I tend to like to let the natural creatures be myself, but I know that when people come across that's poisonous or dangerous in some way they freak out. Or when they come across something they mistakenly think is dangerous, like the hero of our story here.
Why is it you always hear of MEN hurting themselves in weird ways while they are naked? Like frying bacon or killing spiders? Women simply don't do this sort of thing. And, if we do, we keep very, very quiet about it.
