<P><FONT SIZE="5">1.3 The Name FunnelWeb</FONT><BR>
105
<P>The name "FunnelWeb" was chosen because it
106
contains the name "WEB", which is the name of
107
Knuth's system. It was also chosen because it has a
108
distinctly Australian flavour.
110
<P>Funnel-web spiders are
111
found in Northern and Eastern Australia. They are about
112
three to four centimetres long and are very poisonous. The
113
Sydney Funnel-web spider (<I>Atrax
114
robustus</I> ), common in Sydney, has
115
caused the most trouble and has been responsible for several
116
deaths. Funnel-web spiders love to crawl into temporarily
117
discarded shoes where they later react in a hostile manner
118
to an unsuspecting foot. They are known to hang on once they
119
sink their fangs in. Funnel-web spiders derive their name
120
from the shape of their webs which are horizontally-aligned
121
narrowing tubes, open at one end<STRONG>[ANZE]</STRONG>.
123
<P>The Funnel-web spider, like the tiger
124
snake and the white pointer
125
shark, is secretly regarded by
126
Australians as a kind of national
135
<STRONG>F</STRONG> is for Funnel-web<BR>
136
Our furry-legged foe.<BR>
137
He sleeps in your slipper<BR>
138
And breakfasts on toe.<BR>
