Animals

Apparently, a man from Essex was so terrified of a spider that he sprayed it with an aerosol can, and then tried to light himself on fire. (His wife called him to deal with the thing, so she was apparently to scared to deal with it either way—aerosol or none.) Whatever happened to the shoe method my husband uses?

In all fairness, the lighting of the fire came after the man sprayed the spider. The light bulb in the room blew out, inspiring him to light a match (and ensure the deadness of the arachnid)—and then blow himself up. He wasn’t blown to pieces, thankfully; just to the point where he suffered severe burns.
