So, Peter Parker gets bit by a radioactive spider and gets all the abilities that spiders have. Well, where was his four-hour erection?
According to The Telegraph (link below), the world is learning more about the Brazilian Wandering Spider after Maria Layton found some cocoons for these spiders on a bunch of bananas she bought. The Brazilian Wandering Spider just happens to be the world’s most deadly spider. Their venom can kill a human in two hours, but there is an upside—male victims get a four-hour erection.
So, in theory if you get bit, at least your last few hours on this earth can be put to good use. Scientist are already studying how the venom from the Brazilian Wandering Spider can be used to help with erectile dysfunction, proving most men will do anything to have a boner – even if that means taking poison. It kind of sounds like Peter Parker probably shouldn’t be a photographer for a newspaper, but the world’s richest man after developing the greatest ED pill ever.
If you are wondering how the spider got into the bananas, The Brazilian Wandering Spider are active at night and during the day they tend to hide in banana plants, which have earned them the nickname the banana spider.
When you think about it, it really does give new meaning to the phrase, “Is that a banana in your pants or are you just happy to see me?” Nature, it can do some scary and crazy things, like give you a raging boner... and then kill you.
