No, that's not contradiction, that's Monty Python

Nah. The closest thing they had to an infestation of granddaddy long leg spiders was a plague of gnats (Ex. 8:12–15), or some kind of biting bug. The Hebrew isn't clear to modern readers. I've never known anyone to be bitten by one of those spiders. They're so flimsy, clumsy, and stupid that I wonder how they manage to survive.

Surely it couldn't have been very painful.

There are no degrees of pain. Sensation is either comfortable or intolerable. People often talk about something they call their 'pain threshold.' Mine is called a 'discomfort index.' I used to ask for general anesthesia when I got hair cuts. It's one of the reasons I grew a full beard... Stitchawl |

When I was pregnant I got a cold that developed into a really bad cough. I needed a cough suppressant with codeine for the pain which didn't really suppress the cough. I was coughing hard enough that I was peeing. It was awful and took a month to deal with. We were gradually adding medicine because of the pregnancy so it took a while.
Guess what is back? Ugggghhh so far it is not as bad, but I could jump right into medication. It is getting better, I am not coughing as much but I do have a multitude of fits each day. If it is not cleared up by Monday I am going to the Doctor. |

I did almost grasp a door handle in the dark many years ago, when I noticed it move. I was just about to grab hold of a baboon spider, which was sitting on the handle, and might well have ruined my non-bit record. |

Adj. 1. spayed - (of a female animal) having the ovaries removed castrated, unsexed - deprived of sexual capacity or sexual attributes from freedictionary.com I'd be wanting a lot more than a local anaesthetic!!! (I can't work out what you meant to write but it can't really be spayed - can it?) |

We use the word 'spayed' for females, which is quite clear, but the word 'fixed' for males which unless kept in context, can get confusing. Quote:

Before I got neutered, everyone told me of how sore they'd been after the operation. I got the operation and was back at work the next day lifting, walking, and doing all the things I normally did; all the while thinking smugly about what wimps other men were who had had vasectomies. It didn't slow me down and hardly bothered me at all.

Cough is gone. Nausea and diareha have arrived. It has been ages since I have vommited and I am fine with it being ages before having the experience again.
