2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

This is certainly a UL. It happened in the film "Eight-Legged Freaks". I was watching at roughly the date submitted!

Please resubmit with a good write up and a link to a verifiable, credible source of a real event, not a movie.

Sounds like we have someone trying to reject another story here....Thanks

Definitely Toss: Other
Last year, we did have a submission, "Pet Spider kills its Owner", but we rejected it because it was from the Sun and because people who keep venomous critters are presumed to know of the dangers. Call it an "Extreme Hobby," if you will. And "Eight Legged Freaks" was a 2002 Warner Brothers SF/Horror movie (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0271367/ for more information). Thanks, Ian, it wouldn't suprise me if that's where the Sun got the inspiration for their article...
