Sums up most of Clacton, I can say that- because that is where my husband was born…. and he has been known to take similar steps to rid the house of bugs.
Wow. That is just plain stupid. Who uses a cigarette lighter to light up a room after spraying tons of air freshener around? Man. I wonder what the damage was to the room.

Since the Europeans have to say “stupid Americans” whenever something like this happens here, I suppose it’s only fair for me to say “Only a Dumb Brit…”
People are supposed to have an entirely different set of mental processes that dictate how they interpret a situation that involves Americans than they do when it’s any other country including their own. If something like this happens in the US, it’s because all Americans are stupid and it could only happen in the US. If it happens elsewhere, who cares… they’re not American so there’s no incentive to bash them.
Simply pointing this double-standard out will cause anti-American idiots to rage, you just robbed them of their pleasant delusions designed to help them cope with their inferiority complex. You took away their binky.
I like how the caption under the picture says, “It is not known if the spider survived.” We occasionally get vehicle-vs.-cow accidents here in Iowa and reports in the paper will sometimes list “the fate of the cow was undetermined.” I want to know what happened to that damn cow!
The cow, in many cases (this happens in New Mexico fairly often too- I witnessed one case), just gets up and wanders off. Sometimes they die later of complications, internal bleeding, that sort of thing. Should you ever find yourself in an accident that involves a cow, try to get the tag number on it’s ear. Yes, I DO realize how silly that sounds. Especially since the rancher owning the cow will try to figure out which one it was and remove the tag, so you can’t prove it belongs to him.
lol… theres one part… lol…
“The man was summoned by his wife” …. now that is one way to put it…
hey did you had a good night yesterday ?
yeah i summoned my husband to do some nasty things to me..
sounds wrong.. but WHO CARES…
well see the rest of the article has been cropped out, it goes on to say the force of the explosion threw him across the room rather than him actually being involved in the explosion
ok so i was stupid enough to run into my car at a full sprint from a spider because i wasnt paying attention and that is a fail by itself right there but i would never be stupid enough to blow up myself over a spider. i would pay someone i dont like to blow themselves up to kill a spider and laugh at them when they cant get the money from me because they are dead
does whatever a spider fail can
… yes we can’t spray can
the candy man can th- oh nevermind
Picture of the day win!!!
Ha, that’s the first thing I noticed.
Oh dear Jesus, protect me from monsters like that and the nightmares that come from gazing upon such a photo, Amen.
Watch!!!
Who tf is this (untrag and why is he posting these videos up everywhere?
He stole some videos and now is spamming them to get subscribers.
What is worse….I can actually say ….I live 15 miles away.
*facepalm*
spider eyes see what you do
there15 miles awayand he does not approve.
Sorry, it only counts if you drive by there every day.
I don’t drive
…and only if you know his 2nd cousin twice removed by marriage…and dated them.
….probably… It is a little weird around here!
I probably wouldn’t drive either if I had to drive on the wrong side of the road.
*hides*
*sigh
^ drives on the left sigh
K, I live in Clacton… I can’t say I’m hugely surprised at this…
Did you hear about the guy in Colchester that blew his house up with homemade explosives in a pipe bomb?
Sums up most of Clacton, I can say that- because that is where my husband was born…. and he has been known to take similar steps to rid the house of bugs.
Arachnophobia to the nth degree.
I have learned from arachnid movies that it would have been better to just burn down the house and start over.
“Game over, man!!”
It’s the only way to be sure.
+1
♫Burnin’ down the house!♫
I think the most important question here is, did he kill the spider?
According to the firemenz- there was no sign of it.
The itsy-bitsy spider crawled up the water spout; down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the spray and it blew the man away; and the itsy-bitsy spider crawled up the spout again.
Sing another! Sing another! I thought that was really funny.
them’s good eightin’
lmao
GRACIE! It has been awhile! You DO realize you cannot just up and leave the club, don’t you?
*hugs*
KAMIKAZE!
It’s the best way to kill a spider. Fly a plane into it. Wait, What?
He blows himself up to kill a spider.
Another candidate for the Darwin Arward 2010
I just wanted to say that xD. THis guy should win it.
kill it with fire!!!
but not explosive
Personally I would choose a double barrel 12 gauge shot gun, but your way might work too.
I use grenades. But for the small ones I just use cheap fireworks.
I use my foot
Is there somewhere I can read the full story to this little gem?

Remove the space! It is only a short piece.
Wow. That is just plain stupid. Who uses a cigarette lighter to light up a room after spraying tons of air freshener around? Man. I wonder what the damage was to the room.
Probably very little. The air freshener acts similarily to citrus from an orange, not gasoline.
Anything, ANYTHING that comes out of an airesol can is flammable. VERY flammable.
haven’t you seen “The Core” where he sprays a can of air freshener over a lighter flame to roast a peach
I didn’t say it wasn’t flammable rofl. I’m just saying the fumes won’t make the entire bathroom blowup.
Ceiling Spider is watching you masturbate.
Of course its the place where I live. -_-
lol… the man was summoned by his wife… SUMMONED
spooky
*lays out various books and arcane instruments*
That is how we communicate here.
*lights incense*
*begins chanting*
finally I can be someone'dSpider killing is the husband`s job.

Barry, you naughty naughty wyrmhole.
He had to have emptied the entire can for it to have lit up like that. Darwin Award all-star!
Wait. Just a minute I have to get the ants out of my garden with C4 again.
That’s what you get for trying to f*** with spiders.
I thought you get crabs then. Wait, that was mermaids and paris hilton.
he’s obviously a retard…
he’s probably not an idiot, it was probably a freak accident- how often do aerosol cans blow up?
When exposed to flame? Quite often actually.
Watch!!
only in Essex
Since the Europeans have to say “stupid Americans” whenever something like this happens here, I suppose it’s only fair for me to say “Only a Dumb Brit…”
No, see that’s not how it works.
People are supposed to have an entirely different set of mental processes that dictate how they interpret a situation that involves Americans than they do when it’s any other country including their own. If something like this happens in the US, it’s because all Americans are stupid and it could only happen in the US.

Simply pointing this double-standard out will cause anti-American idiots to rage, you just robbed them of their pleasant delusions designed to help them cope with their inferiority complex. You took away their binky.
A spokesman added: “We’re not entirely sure whether the spider got away or not but there was no sign of it at the scene.”
Now that’s WIN.
This is the most epic of all fails the world over. We salute you, arachnophobic idiot!
All Hail The Fail!
proof that it’s bad luck to kill a spider.
That’s a nasty looking spider! If the real spider looked anything like that it’s SO worth blowing things up for!
And we have another Darwin award winner!
Personally I think you all got it wrong. The FAIL is actually the todays picture in the right bottom corner of the picture.
This could have been a win….. He just didn’t succeed with his plan.
What a way to remember someone.
Reminds me of a Wile E. Coyote cartoon.
blows himself…what a retard ha ha ha
I’m more curious as to why theres a picture of Princess Diana in just a bra to the right…
I like how the caption under the picture says, “It is not known if the spider survived.” We occasionally get vehicle-vs.-cow accidents here in Iowa and reports in the paper will sometimes list “the fate of the cow was undetermined.” I want to know what happened to that damn cow!
The cow, in many cases (this happens in New Mexico fairly often too- I witnessed one case), just gets up and wanders off.

Yes, I DO realize how silly that sounds. Especially since the rancher owning the cow will try to figure out which one it was and remove the tag, so you can’t prove it belongs to him.
“Did anybody get the tag of the cow that hit me?”
I can truthfully say that I may have done the same thing—I’m absolutely terrified of spiders!
For real, I’d say he was justified. Spiders are jerks.
My husband once took a small blowtorch to one hanging outside our door.
He wanted kill spider, but blows himself! Thats mean that its SPIDER WIN!
Damn, it’s like trying to kill those spiders in “Blood”! That game had aerosol flame throwers.
lol… theres one part… lol…
“The man was summoned by his wife” …. now that is one way to put it…
hey did you had a good night yesterday ?
yeah i summoned my husband to do some nasty things to me..
sounds wrong.. but WHO CARES…
He should have just called John Goodman up to take care of that………….
Even better would’ve been Chuck Norris.
This is actually a news site fail.
The dude did NOT blow himself up. He merely burned his fingers and knuckles and fell backwards from the shock. He’s totally fine.
God damn the media for over-hyping s**t just to get people to read their boring drivel.
He probably saw James Bond do this in “Live and Let Die”.
Moral of the story?
NEVER, EVER try a Bond-stunt at home.
I laughed. Shame.
well see the rest of the article has been cropped out, it goes on to say the force of the explosion threw him across the room rather than him actually being involved in the explosion
That picture scared the crap out of me.
Lol I live there
……this story has also been in german news.
this dude who burned himself is an engineer, he probably should know bout deo+fire=dangerous
lol. I declare jihad on the spider infidel!!!!
That was no accident. The spider pictured is a Portia spider, #4 in Cracked.com’s list of the 6 most diabolical predators: http://www.cracked.com/article/109_natures-6-most-diabolical-predators/
ok so i was stupid enough to run into my car at a full sprint from a spider because i wasnt paying attention and that is a fail by itself right there but i would never be stupid enough to blow up myself over a spider. i would pay someone i dont like to blow themselves up to kill a spider and laugh at them when they cant get the money from me because they are dead
Unfortunately, he probably survived and the poor spider didn’t.
Seriously. What is people’s f*cking problem with spiders? It utterly mystifies me.
…. Still…. KILL IT WITH FIRE.
