An employee in a Tulsa, Oklahoma Whole Foods grocery store found a Brazilian Wandering Spider--the world's deadliest spider--on some bananas. Our first reaction is: They have a Whole Foods in Tulsa? Oh and, yikes, that sounds dangerous.
Living up to at least half of its name, the Brazilian Wandering Spider apparently wandered over on a shipment from Honduras. The employee was able to capture the little guy in a glass and it was handed over to University of Tulsa Animal Facilities director Terry Childs who says, "This type of spider kills more people than any other." He also says a bite will kill a person in about 25 minutes and, while there is an antidote, he doesn't know of any in the Tulsa area. Yet another reason to move from Tulsa.
Whole Foods says spiders are routinely found on produce which is why they inspect their shipments and that is how this one was found. This is totally making us reevaluate the health benefits of keeping produce in our diet.

Oh snap, it's a good thing the spider was found and no one suffered injury or death. I wonder if the employee knew the spider was dangerous?
ReplyI would have shit my pants if I found that spider.
ReplyAs a resident of Tulsa and a satisfied customer of Whole Foods, I am curious about why you would make snide remarks about the town. Is it because you are so cool and sophisticated, or is it because you are ignorant? May the next spider wander up your pants leg!
Replyum, maybe because it's tulsa. oklahoma. on the ohter hand you do have an amtrak stop and oral roberts university. oh and now a whole foods. so maybe tulsa really is cool and sophisticated! and you shouldn't wish that a deadly spider crawl up someone's leg. that's not good bible-belt behavior.
ReplyLighten up, anonymous poster. I'm from Florida. I hear crap about it all the time.
ReplyCindy made a friend in Tulsa!
Replyhee hee
ReplyI think guests want another commenter shout out this friday.. they've been on the ball this week!
ReplyCindy, you are so cool and sophisticated. I want to be just like you. Wow, Managing Editor of such a well-known and celebrated web rag as Guanabee! Your highschool journalism teacher must be so proud. I wanna get the cool look down first. So, where'd you have the rhino-augmentation work done? And you simply must tell me where you got those cool shades. After surgery I will need a pair in order to place subtle emphasis on my new Dangerfield. Finally, please pay no heed to those rubes in Tulsa that were so offended by your incredible insight re their little town. They are such bores. They will probably stoop to attacking your appearance or resort to some other boorish behavior - even though they have no idea what you actually look like. They will never possess the cool and sophistication required to appreciate Guanabee and its high(school) level of journalism. Hee-hee.
ReplyAll this escandalo cause Cindy said one teeny sentence about Tulsa? Take a chill pill.
Replymaybe it's cause she's from the best state ever? we have a little known (yes, kidding) rivalry with that state just north. i've been to most states in the US, and 5 minutes from the TX/OK border, and still haven't been to oklahoma. that rivalry will never be resolved. go texas!!!
ReplyHee hee.
ReplyMost stuff on the internet is high school quality journalism with a bit more snark & research thrown in every so often. If you don't like it then don't read it.
ReplyJust having a little fun (well, okay, more than a little). That's the point of opening a comment thread, right? I really wasn't expressing "outrage" as much as "sarcasmo". But just for the record (and the feeble-minded): Tulsa is probably a great place to live and - best I can determine from a thumbnail the size of, well a thumbnail - Cindy is really good-looking. Get it? Based on Cindy's response ("hee-hee"), she must have been the only one to appreciate the point. Now, if I could just find my my chill-pill Rx.
ReplyBut don't I have to read it before I can determine whether or not I like it? How's that for highschool level logic? na na-na na na
