Oh they know. Spiders are not stupid. They've just got disproportionally huge balls.

Why the heck did he have a portrait painted of him in his underwear? Was he particularly proud of that codpiece, or something?

Must've been a really nice codpiece.

Hi!

Well, I always thought that the spam mail we are receiving every day were based on some strange perceptions among US males, but it seems that they are standing in a long, European tradition there.

It seems that he was a show-off (if it was not an STD, according to the article).

I guess it goes a bit along the lines of "Look what I got!".

I'm wondering why he's pointing at it... and why his dog is there...

I hope those two things are not related  :o
