An apparently angry ex-boyfriend has been arrested in England for mailing a woman a live, poisonous, 5-inch Mexican red-kneed tarantula.

The unidentified woman received the plastic box at a Fosse Park mall where she worked, and was horrified when she opened the box and saw the colorful hairy spider nestled on tissue paper, The Telegraph reported.

Luckily for her, as fearsome as the spider looks, it is mostly docile and did not attack, the report said.

Police summoned wildlife officials, who took the spider, an endangered species.

If threatened, the spiders can rub their back legs together and flick hairs that cause blindness or a painful rash to the victim. They can also bite, injecting venom through their fangs.

Leicestershire police said a 22-year-old man had been arrested and released on bail.

On another note: my arms are like mega stiff after the waxing of my car. I think I need to build a waxing robot.

I heard Squeak puts out for free though. That would be cheaper than a robot.

The gift of STDs is free. Won't cost you a thing. The aftercare, however, can get mighty pricey over the long haul...

I already collected all of the STDs except AIDS 'cause it's been over done. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
