I mean, he burned his house to the ground, but he did kill the spider.
[
](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/man-trying-kill-spider-caused-house-fire)I’ve known people who would have said that this was a fair trade, as long as the spider was dead in the end. :rolleyes:
Wait, he used a can of spray paint!? Dude’s lucky he didn’t end as a Darwin Award candidate by exploding it!
Should’ve used a nuke.
To be fair, the article didn’t mention what kind of spider it was. I mean, if it was one of those big black ones with the creepy legs . . .
Totally!
Did he mention if it was hairy? Or pointy?!!
Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Spiders. Ugh.
Nah, the propellant keeps the flame traveling away. We used to do hairspray flamethrowers, much cheaper than spray paint.
Didn’t our own** Hal Briston** do this and light his curtains on fire once?
It’s more than the propellant - the fire just won’t migrate into the pinhole that the spray emits from. I remember watching someone try to deliberately explode a spray can back in high school - he ended up with an intact spray can with a melted nozzle on top.
It’s even more than that…
There’s no air inside the can, so it can’t explode.
The lot of you can go pound it! :mad: :mad: :mad:
I think that was just someone claiming to be Hal Briston.
Will Hal Briston ever learn his lesson?
That was the infamous sheep love incident.
Spiderman is totally different! Nice webs.
I don’t think there’s such a thing as too much force when facing a spider the size of a Buick. Would ratshot work on smaller arachnids?
Would have been really funny if the spider had survived.
No!
That’s how they mutate into fire-resistant demon devil spiders from hell the size of Jeff Goldblum’s hand!
Pyrrhic victory. High cost:casualty ratio.
