Camera Phone Saves Life of Chef Bitten by Deadly Spider
"A chef bitten by a deadly spider in his pub kitchen was saved after experts were able to identify the creature from a picture on his mobile phone. Matthew Stevens was attacked by the Brazilian Wandering Spider which was hidden in a box of bananas delivered to the Quantock Gateway pub in Bridgwater. Thinking quickly despite the shock, he managed to snap a picture, which he later showed to doctors. Experts at Bristol Zoo were able to identify it and suggest an antidote."
My reaction would have been more along the lines of squishing first, and picture taking second. I guess the true hero in all this is Matthews employer, who obviously has no policy against camera phones in the workplace.
