Real life "spiderman" Nick Le Souef holds a bird-eating spider Monday before he enters a shop window front to live with hundreds of deadly arachnids for the next three weeks to raise money for charity in Melbourne.
(Nov. 15) -- Is there a limit to what you'd do to raise money for charity?
An Australian man who fancies himself a real-life "spiderman" is spending three weeks trapped in a storefront window with hundreds of poisonous spiders, hoping to break a record for habitation with creepy-crawlies and raise money for a local children's charity.
Nick Le Souef, a 67-year-old opal miner from Melbourne, stepped into the 12-by-4-foot window of his downtown shop today, where he plans to spend the next three weeks sleeping, eating and working alongside some of Australia's most deadly arachnids -- redbacks, tarantula-like huntsmen and black house spiders
It's all part of a campaign to raise $50,000 for the local children's charity Variety.
