Arachnid's violent death rudely relegated to the mere parenthetical
Police in Western Australia responded to an emergency call over what turned out to be an arachnophobic man screaming at a spider, The Guardian reported Wednesday.
A passerby in suburban Perth had called police after hearing the man repeatedly yell, "Why don't you die?!"
The Wanneroo police log of the incident read, in part, "No injuries sighted (except to spider)." The man apologized for inconveniencing police.
