*grin* while reading through the linux fortune cookies a while ago I spotted
the following:

   As you reach for the web, a venomous spider appears.  Unable to pull your
   hand away in time, the spider promptly, but politely, bites you.  The venom
   takes affect quickly causing your lips to turn plaid along with your
   complexion.  You become dazed, and in your stupor you fall from the limbs of
   the tree.  Snap!  Your head falls off and rolls all over the ground.  The
   instant before you croak, you hear the whoosh of a vacuum being filled by
   the air surrounding your head.  Worse yet, the spider is suing you for
   damages.

I thought it might make a particularly entertaining 'deathtrap' description ;)
