Pet spider kills its owner
From ALLAN HALL
in Berlin
A MAN who lived in his own "zoo" of lizards and insects was fatally bitten by a pet black widow spider--then eaten by the other creepy-crawlies.
Police broke in to Mark Voegel's apartment to find spider Bettina along with 200 others, several snakes, a gecko lizard called Helmut and several thousand termites had gorged on his body.
Neighbours alerted police after becoming alarmed by the stink.
And horrified officers were met by a nightmare scene.
A police spokesman said: "It was like a horror movie. His corpse was over the sofa."
"Giant webs draped him, spiders were all over him. They were coming out of his nose and his mouth."
"There was everything there one could imagine in the world of reptiles."
"Larger pieces of flesh torn off by the lizards were scooped up and taken back to the webs of tarantulas and other bird-eating spiders."
Loner Voegel, 30, never invited people back to his "jungle" home, a small apartment in the German city of Dortmund.
Police described it as a cross between a botanical garden and the butterfly breeding ground in the serial killer movie The Silence Of The Lambs.
One tarantula had built a nest the size of a swallow's in a corner of the ceiling.
Voegel also had a boa constrictor and several poisonous frogs from South America.
Spider expert and animal cruelty officer Gabi Bayer said he kept creatures "that should never be allowed in a private home".
She said: "He had spiders so aggressive they are the equivalent of a pit-bull in the animal world."
The reptiles were allowed to roam free in the flat.
The heating elements on two tanks containing spiders and their termite snacks had exploded and dislodged the metal tops allowing them to escape.
Voegel is thought to have been dead for between seven and 14 days.
A post-mortem will be carried out in the next few days. But authorities believe Bettina alone was responsible for Voegel's death.

damn i didn't even know termites could eat flesh. 
this is a nasty ass story man. thats cause today i opened the cover to a water pipe and there were nothing but ants underneath it. so i grabbed the ant killer, and connected the water hose to it and drenched those mother fuckers till they were all gone.

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

that is without a doubt the most disturbing story ever and proof that spiders are the workers of satan
I would say you should replace spiders by germans, but that's a little too harsh. But that guy is a lot more disturbing than the spider. You can expect that a spider can bite you and kill you, why would you bring it into your home?
