Supermarket Closed Over Fears of Spider Capable of Causing Permanent Erection A supermarket in Austria was evacuated after a highly venomous spider was spotted in the store ... and the creature has a bite that can not only kill, but also cause permanent erections!!!

Part of me wishes that, just once, billionaires would offer ME bribes.
