It was a kindness, meant to distract the poor fellow from his Candiru infestation.

Poor kitty, hell!
 
How easy would it be to sleep at night in this house?

In srolling thru the bite site, I noticed bites were listed by location on the body. I remembered that many spider bites occur on the male testes from spiders hiding under outhouse seats. Do you think anyone ever's been bitten on the balls or penis? Perish the thought.

I had a fire ant crawl up my shorts and bite my scrotum once when I was sitting on the floor reading a magazine. It wasn't very painful, since the swelling has plenty of room in that area, but it did feel like I had a third ball for a while.

My dad was bitten by one in a suburb of Chicago (which is outside of the area of your map) while cleaning a flooded basement. He got lucky - it simply left a permanent dent in his back. In the fine tradition of my family (that is, get well or die) he never went to a doctor about it...

you obviously didn't read my earlier post. their range is even more then just margins. unless the margins are over 100mi. :eek:

Hey you, let's go lynch some scientists as they didn't get the home range exactly right. That's okay with me because as you might guess from their degree of accuracy, most scientists are liberals.
