Whenever I hear reference to the funnel-web spider, I chuckle in rememberance of a spoonerism widely broadcast over the National radio in Oz where the
female news-reader reported that a woman was "bitten on the funnel by a finger-web spider."

I'll bet her toes curled up in embarassment when she realised what she'd said!

(Funnel? So this IS on-topic?)
