Retroactive birth control

My only regret is that they won't grow up to hemmorage chips at a poker table. Unfortunately, the driver will probably kill a motorcyclist next time an insect gets in the car with her.

FLAGSTAFF - A crash that killed two 15-year-old high school students happened after the driver and passengers were distracted by a spider, authorities said.

The 17-year-old driver of the Nissan sedan told Department of Public Safety investigators that she and three others in the car were considering whether to catch or kill the spider when the car drifted off Interstate 17 early Wednesday, Sgt. Rod Wigman said. The driver over-corrected and the sedan rolled at least twice.

Okay this wasn't an Australian Funnel Web Spider, so the kids probably would have survived the spider bite, assuming the spider would have bitten them.
