Arachnid quote of the day

back_hand_750


When I was more active with the Manitoba Herpetocultural Society I arranged for Stanley Schultz to give a presentation on arachnids one evening on his way through Winnipeg. It was filled with his expert theory of how he believes tarantulas should be kept in captivity. It was insightful and informative and he was an energetic speaker.

He travels around North America full time seeking out arachno geeks wherever he goes. His comments pop up on many of the major arachnid sites on the web, including arachnoboards, the American Tarantula Society board and any number of smaller email lists and web groups.

I don't know how long this piece has been included in his signature, but I noticed it today on a comment he made to the yahoo group, arachnid_world and laughed heartily. Good one Stanley!

"I know I'll never understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the roots, and still be afraid of a spider."
