Black Widow


Here is my prize, the black widow. Isn't she lovely, and so deadly.

Her kiss is 15 times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake.

Her venom is highly neurotoxic. That is to say it attacks the central nervous system causing intense pain, difficulty in breathing, loss of consciousness, violent convulsions and finally, um death. I think what I like most is her inborn need to dominate and possess the smaller and weaker male of the species.


Such power and dignity unhampered by sentiment.
If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy,
I feel Bush has ruled this world as a stumbling demented child-king long enough.
And as his empire crumbles my precious black widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!
