JUST HOW DEADLY ARE BRAZILIAN WANDERING SPIDERS The Brazilian wandering spider appears in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most venomous spider.Their Greek name Phoneutria actually means 'murderess' - an indication of their deadly bite.They are known as the wandering spider because they do not build webs, but instead walk the jungle floor at night looking for prey.Brazilian wandering spiders are nocturnal, and so find places to hide during the day.This is why they are so dangerous, because they hide in houses and cars, where they are easily disturbed by humans.They may be considered the most toxic spider, but they are not the biggest. Their leg-span reaches up to five inches.When the spiders are defending themselves, they lift their body up on their hind legs in a defensive display. Bites have killed 14 people until an antidote was found in 1996.The venom causes extreme pain and inflammation, loss of muscle control and breathing problems, resulting in paralysis and eventual asphyxiation.

LCD, LED, Plasma, Smart TVs to choose from Vacuums & Steam Cleaning Tops brands including Dyson New items added daily Great offers on Dab Radios Tesco is spreading its wings again. The supermarket’s latest venture is an in-store electrical recycling service. But would you want to exchange your unwanted gadgets for Tesco Clubcard points or gift cards? What ancient gadgets have you got lying around your house? A dusty digital camera? A geriatric games console? Together these items could be worth quite a bit of cash. Well, I say cash, Tesco would like to offer you Clubcard points and gift cards instead. You’ll be able to swap all manner of electrical appliances in 238 of Tesco’s stores, which it will then recycle. In fact, you can take 3,000 types of products to the supermarket, but only those that you can carry – think TVs, microwaves and laptops, not dishwashers or cookers (even if you have superhuman strength).

How much will Tesco give you? Tesco will value your items on-the-spot using its online database and give you either Clubcard points or gift cards at the “current market value” of your items. You can then exchange this for goods in-store. I was intrigued to see how much you’d get for particular gadgets, so I asked Tesco to provide me with prices it would offer for the following items: For the Fuji Finepix Z3 Zoom Digital Camera you’ll get £32.24 The Sony 22S5500 22″ LCD TV with Freeview will bag you £68.20 And a Nintendo Wii be worth £46.09 (don’t forget that all important 9p) So are those prices any good? They’re not too bad – a new Wii will set you back £65 on eBay, so Tesco’s pretty on the mark there. However, when it comes to the Sony TV, after a quick look on eBay I could see a used model being bought for £160. That’s some way off Tesco’s offer. That’s not to say Tesco’s new service isn’t a good idea. The supermarket says it will recycle all the electricals in some way, whether it’s refurbishing them or breaking them down for parts.
