An office receptionist got the shock of her life earlier this week when she found a 70cm long snake entangled in the web of a deadly spider. Tania Robertson, a receptionist at an electrical firm in Perth, came in to work on Tuesday and spotted the sight next to a desk in her office. The snake, which had obviously died from the spider’s poisonous bite, was off the ground and caught up in the web.

:nope: Worse than when I moved into my house and found the black widow web in the garage.

These February 2004 photographs of a spider devouring a snake caught in its web are genuine, but the accompanying text description alters the location, the size of the snake, and the type of spider involved: The pictures were taken in Bloemfontein, South Africa, not Perth, Australia; the snake measured 14cm, (5.5 inches), not 70cm (27.5 inches); and the spider was identified as a brown button spider, not a redback spider.

Below that it says that it was still found in an office near a desk. Even if not, the photos are indoors somewhere. Still :nope:
