Lame excuse

In our series of lame excuses "It wasn't me", we present ... (drum roll) ... a spider :-)
So, let's see, we have guys blaming their penis (of course, what else), a spell, alcohol, insanity, drugs, friends, a twin brother, the bogeyman and what have you not.
And now ... a spider bite.

In Australia, a man who kidnapped and raped a woman blamed his actions on a spider, according to local media.

The man told a court that the poison from a funnel-web spider bite had left him with a viral illness which led to his actions.

The defendant, who kidnapped and raped the woman in 1997, was sentenced to eight years in jail.
