Hot head! The Spoor spider of the Namib Desert of southern Africa kills its ant prey by pinning its body to the hot sand- where it burns alive in less than a minute! The Caddo Native Americans of the southern plains greeted strangers by wailing and weeping. George the Giant, a 7 foot 3 inch sideshow performer from Bakersfield, California, can lie on a bed of nails with a 1500 LB weight on his chest!
