Spiders in the Spongecake!

Germany Smuggled Spiders

So you want to be a customs officer…

You never know what’s going to turn up in a customs check. Check out that carton of spongecake, for instance:

The boxes were shipped from Viet Nam and wound up in Germany, in Cologne-Bonn Airport. They contained 1,500 “young” tarantulas. Officials were tipped off by what they described as an “unfamiliar smell.”

I can’t help imagining someone dropping the carton and it breaks open when it hits the floor, releasing 1,500 tarantulas into a crowded public space.

Oh, boy, spongecake!
