ISRAELI researchers are looking into whether spider venom could help cure impotency after men bitten by arachnids experienced prolonged erection, a newspaper reported today.

The research was launched after observations that some men bitten by spiders "suffered from prolonged erections," the mass-selling Yediot Aharonot daily said.

What am I missing here??? If you are bitten by a spider in the wrong (er...right?) place, won’t that part of you get all swollen and stuff? This is news?

Resurrection is on the way.

I told my wife I got bit by a spider. She told me "Not this week, I have a headache."

ROFLMAO!

Yep. Pretty much.

I think it has more to do with the fact that spider venom is a neurotoxin.

Since it would be (I'm assuming) a topical application instead of a compound that was ingested, it could deaden the nerve receptors in the...err...appendage without the Vioxx-type side effects.

No kidding, I was going to say something about that stiff part being numb, but then that would be "nuts"......:-O

“ISRAELI researchers are looking into whether spider venom could help cure impotency after men bitten by arachnids experienced prolonged erection,”

The venom is a drug and any drug induced erection is dangerous.
It is very interesting how far these guys go in their clinical research for new drugs.For example they use the ointment with capsaicin(the pungent factor in hot pepper) to treat hemorrhoids.

Yea....send me a bill....and if the spider bites you remember to keep a "stiff" upper lip.

I love stories like this one. Men are usually not very sensitive about things until others talk about our privates and then we tend to curl into a ****cough ball cough***

and the record still stands.

...nice choice of verb.

Full disclosure: "...when they put me on the rack, my limbs weren't the only thing they stretched" ;-)

I had this in mind:

Little Miss Muffet
sat on a tuffet
eating her curds and whey
along came a spider
who sat down beside her
and she suffered a prolonged erection.

Cheers!

Heck, nothing new about that...

LOL! Sorry. I didn't even see your post.

Darned dial-up connection.

Yea....send me a bill

You're lucky it's Saturday and I'm feeling generous.
