Man Living With Spiders For Charity

An Australian man will spend the next few weeks living with several hundred spiders to raise money for charity. News.com.au is reporting that Nick Le Souef is spending three weeks in a storefront window with about 400 different types of spiders. The 67-year-old Melbourne resident is hoping to raise 50-thousand-dollars for the children's charity Variety. Le Souef says he doesn't like spiders "all that much," but notes that he's "not afraid of them" either. This isn't the first time that Nick Le Souef has gone to great lengths for a good cause. He has also spent three weeks in a snake pit, shark tank, and a cage with redback spiders.
