Millions of baby spiders appeared to rain down from the sky earlier this month in the Southern Tablelands in Australia. One resident described the effect it had on their home as such: “The whole place was covered in these little black spiderlings and when I looked up at the sun it was like this tunnel of webs going up for a couple of hundred metres into the sky.”
Read that again and try not to let your mind implode from the Lovecraftian horror from it all.
The phenomenon is (terrifyingly) not that uncommon. Apparently the spiders “balloon” by throwing out sheets of webbing and use the winds to carry themselves around. When weather conditions are poor, none of the spiders go anywhere of course. But when the weather picks up again, they all leave in one terrifying hell-swarm.
Again, a salute to the brave (insane?) people who continue to call the continent of Australia their home.
Two men arrested in Houston are accused of stealing an iPad and using it to take selfies that they unknowingly uploaded to the owner’s iCloud account.
The men appeared in the photos displaying money they are also accused of taking from the victim.
Investigators arrested the pair on theft charges late Wednesday.

Stolen weapon found during search at Tennessee jail
Loaded Gun hidden In suspect’s Vagina
APRIL 22–A 19-year-old Tennessee woman had a loaded handgun hidden in her vagina when she was brought into jail yesterday afternoon following a collar for driving with a suspended license, police report.
As Dallas Archer was being booked into the Kingsport jail, a female corrections officer alerted to an “unknown object” in the teenager’s crotch during a search.
The jailer and a female cop then accompanied Archer to a bathroom for further examination, a review that led to the recovery of a “North American Arms 22 LR mini mag revolver (loaded) which Ms. Dallas had concealed in her vagina, “according to a Kingsport Police Department report.
A subsequent check revealed that the five-shot mini-revolver–which is four inches in length–had been “stolen from an auto burglary in 2013.” The handgun, which police valued at $250, is owned by John Souther, a 70-year-old retired car salesman.
In a TSG interview, Souther said that the gun was taken from his 1994 Mustang, which was “ransacked” last year while parked in his Kingsport carport. Souther said that police told him that the revolver had been recovered, but offered no further details. When told where the gun had been stashed, Souther said, “Oh, gosh.” He noted that he would eventually like “the little fellow” returned, but added that the weapon would require “a bath in bleach.”
News of the weapon in Archer’s vagina was first reported by the Kingsport Times-News.
Archer, seen in the above mug shot, was charged with gun possession and introducing contraband into a penal facility.
According to a jail official, Archer was released from custody after posting $6,000 bond.
AND NOW THE READER RESPONSES
1. I thought it was her gun. Turns out it was snatched!
2. Gives new meaning to a gun having a “hair trigger”.
3. Happiness is a warm gun?
4. At four inches in length it comes off as halfcocked.
5. “For sale AA22LR never used; still in the box.”
6. Report reads, “…Introducing contraband into a penal facility.” Shouldn’t that be ‘penile’ facility?
7. If it went off, could you call it her ‘boom box’?
8. Remember: Every vagina is to be treated as if it is loaded. Always keep it pointed in a safe direction.
9. They say it was a gun, but something smells fishy.
10. You can have my gun when you can pry it from my cold, stinking…
11. Oh my… accident waiting to happen. Could ‘shoot the beaver’.
12. I have heard of shooting your mouth off, but this takes on a “hole” new meaning.
13. Complete reversal on the classic, “Is that a pistol in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?”
14. I wonder if she had ‘gun-areah’?
15. Gives a whole new meaning to “Vaginal Discharge”.
16. Do you suppose she had a ‘rectal reloader’?
17. A gun in hand is worth 2 in the bush?
18. Figures… it uses ‘rim shot’ ammo.
19. This supports the “Big Bang” theory.
Was she charged for failure to provide a “Conceived Carry Permit”?
Seems that grabbing a couple of boobs from behind while at the water park on a slide is a huge WIN, not a fail. Getting it captured on camera, especially if she wasn’t good with the move…..yeah, that’s a fail.

Notably, the populace of California is roughly half white. It’s basically Mexico in all but name, with a much better foreign aid package.
But interestingly, despite your stats, I can guarantee that there are NOT ONLY whites who wish to leave. Plenty of guilty white liberals love that place, plenty of Mexican parasites love the place too. So who does want to leave? I notice from the article that a higher percent of millennials wish to go. That is probably a good sign…although it could be because there are very few basements in which to live in California. LOL
My wife and I are natives, got the hell out in 1997, got our mothers out in 2009 and 2016 (dads were both dead…no, we didn’t just leave them there), and have never looked back.
Hilarious, uncomfortable, sad, silly, shocking, sexy, funny, amazing….I sat down with an adult beverage clicked on Friday Fail intentionally and had the best 10 minutes of the week!!!
Went through it twice…may take a 3rd trip later.
Outstanding!
Thanks, Mark. Sorry about the ruler a couple of weeks ago. Have a great weekend..
That swooping bird sign is not a fail. That is to warn of swooping magpies. Those fucks are mean as shit during nesting season, have long, sharp claws, and can leave you bleeding like a stuck pig. Hell they even put out the occasional eye.
Australia is not for pussies. More stuff can kill you here than anywhere else on earth. Africa? Please. When they get 1” octupuses and seashells that can kill you, let me know.
I see ya.. Careful, boss.
Many fails, great laughs.
Thanks
