When I worked at the Greenville News in Greenville SC, we ran a story about a little black girl who died from brown recluse bites in a most horrific way.
I don't profess to be an expert on African-American hairstyles and habits; but as I understand it, when women have their hair done, they will leave it
that way for quite some time. A lady had taken her child and had her hair done, and a day or so later, the child complained her head hurt. Not taking it
as anything serious, the mother didnt investigate. Thinking that the hair was simply too tight; kept telling the child they weren't going to take her hair
down as she had spent a considerable amount of money to have it done. According to the story, this went on for a day or so until her teacher became
concerned with the little girl's continued complaints and took the child's hair down; to find a brown recluse had been trapped in her hairdo and was biting
her all along. She died a few days later.

New Zealanders are now pushing culinary boundaries by serving up shots of horse semen to iron-stomached food lovers.
"The idea is you'll have as much zizz as a stallion for a week afterwards," Christchurch racehorse breeder Lindsay
Kerslake, who came up with the semen surprise, told Fairfax Media.

Get your "zizz" from stallion jizz?

I hate baby name suggestions. I'm pretty sure we can come up with a name on our own, thanks. And I feel like as soon as someone suggests a name, I hate that name.

And if you just happen to suggest one of the two names that we have picked out...I'm not going to tell you anyway.

Had to vent. I can't do it on facebook because the offending parties will see it there.

Baby name suggestions are useless. I mean, you're only a baby for a few months. Just give them a grown-up name from the start.

Here are my suggestions:

Disko Supafly
Tiberius
Daeniopaelian
Orestes
Dr Pepper
Chiraedes

I have plenty more if you need them. You can thank me later.

Please explain, because regardless of where you live I don't see how this is even possible. The brown recluse is, by definition, reclusive. It hides. Black widows on the other hand, come out every night. They sit on their web and eat things, just like other spiders do. While there might not be one in your living room, there may well be one right outside your back door, out there in the open (provided that it's nighttime) for all to see.

okay, you don't actually see them that much, but they're everywhere.

Ooooh Genus Species of Spider names:

Latrodectus hesperus
Loxosceles reclusa

Theraposa leblondi

Will you be reimbursing me for the labor involved and sending them?

Hey BS can you put some extra in to cover my share?

If you did, sorry about my joke. Just trying to make myself feel better about a shitty thing.

pbsaurus · « **Reply #5369 on:** March 10, 2011, 02:15:08 PM »

Church of the living christ? Mormon off-shoot?

12AX7 · « **Reply #5370 on:** March 10, 2011, 09:33:36 PM »

Oh, no. I dont know who they are. I used to be a firefighter, and have found similar situations IRL a couple of times; and it always makes me die inside.

I wouldn't wish a fire death on Satan himself. That has got to be the most horrific way to go. That there were seven children and the Mom was right there

and couldn't save them... just... omg.

also: no probs, Lacerda. I know where you're coming from by joking. No harm.

12AX7 · « **Reply #5371 on:** March 10, 2011, 09:37:25 PM »

Oh - also, I only posted about it because in this story; there was the info to help. Usually you just read a news story and sometimes feel powerless. This one had the option of being able to do something. That's why I pasted it in.
