Spiders lead to Mazda recall
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Mazda is recalling about 52,000 Mazda6 sedans, because yellow sac spiders like to build their nests in part of the fuel system.
"A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction of the line," Mazda said in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The evaporative canister vent line runs from a charcoal-filled canister that cleans air coming out of the gas tank. Blockage of the line can prevent air from getting into the gas tank as the gasoline is used, resulting in negative air pressure inside the tank. That can lead to a crack in the gas tank and the possibility of a fire.
There have been 20 reported cases of spider infestation in the Mazda6 -- all have been in cars with 4-cylinder engines, none with V6's. No actual fires are known to have been caused by the spiders, according to Mazda's letter.

those little bastards

Of course, mostly because they're pretty much restricted to places most of use never go to. They do leave nasty, lasting welts, though.

I'd rather have a deadly welt on an arm than a deadly vagina-dick down my throat any day.

when i was a kid i used to feed the spiders at my flat with maggots. one of them grew pretty damn big and hairy.
then i burned them with a deodorant+lighter flamethrower. i think its cos i watched the aliens too many times.
