When Lance Corporal Sammy OGorman learned he was being sent to fight in Iraq, he immediately thought of the dangers of deadly roadside bombs.
But it was not an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by insurgents that nearly cost the 28-year-old his life.
L/Cpl OGorman spent three months in intensive care and underwent 17 operations after being bitten on the thigh by a giant spider.
Last night, he told how he was on patrol in western Basra with the Highlanders, 4th Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland, when the camel spider struck.
The father of two, from Inverness, said: When I went to Iraq, the biggest threat was the IED. If you stepped on one of those, you felt you were going to lose a foot, a leg or your life.
You just did not have time to worry about spiders. I didnt see the spider or feel the bite. It left two holes in the top of my thigh.
I got back to our forward operating base after the patrol and noticed the top of my thigh was sore and inflamed.The medic couldnt do anything for me and it was two weeks before a doctor took a look at it.
She cut the inflamed area open and drained fluid but none of us knew what the real problem was.
The spider, which can grow to eight inches and run at 10mph, is not venomous but contains potentially lethal bacteria from its desert diet of decaying animal flesh.
Unaware of the danger he was in, L/Cpl OGorman went on leave before returning to his base in Fallingbostel, Germany.
Potentially lethal: A camel spider is not venomous but can kill as it contains potentially fatal bacteria
By then, his blood had become infected and he was hours away from death. He reported to the medical centre where the doctor, alarmed by his condition, sent him to hospital for immediate treatment.
He said: I went into intensive care. They thought I had cancer. The infection was about a month old at this stage and was threatening to get a grip on my heart.
They cut away infected muscle in my leg. I had 17 operations in total and Ive got a divot in my left thigh as a result.
At one point, they told my wife Clare I might not make it through the night.Later, a British military surgeon told me I was lucky to have kept my leg.
L/Cpl OGorman, whose daughters are four and six, has now transferred to the Black Watch because its HQ is nearer his Highland home.
It has taken him three years to battle back to 70 per cent fitness after being bitten by the spider in 2009.
He now gives training talks to help soldiers sent to Afghanistan to look out for spiders and scorpions.

Finding Lost Da Vinci
Would you hack 500 year old art to maybe find a 550 year old lost Da Vinci?
http://www.newser.com/story/141640/experts-were-close-to-finding-lost-da-vinci.html
Indefatigable art experts believed they've discovered the location of a long-sought Leonardo Da Vinci masterpiece hidden behind another painting in Florence. A California team searching for the masterpiece Battle of Anghiari are convinced it's painted on a wall of the Palazzo Vecchiobehind another painting by Giorgio Vasari. They sampled the chemical content of the red, black and beige paint beneath Vasari's fresco, and discovered it matched the paint used on the Mona Lisa and Da Vinci's St. John the Baptist, reports ABC News. An unusual red lacquer typically used for oil painting is also consistent with Da Vinci's plan to do his battle painting in oil, notes researcher Maurizio Seracini, a professor at UC-San Diego. Though much work remains to be done, "the evidence suggests we are searching in the right place," he said.
Other experts are not so convinced, reports the Washington Post, and call Seracini's claims "propaganda," though the mayor of Florence is certain the painting is hidden behind Vasari's. Da Vinci began painting Battle on Anghiari in 1505, but stopped a year later when he left Florence. Vasari's Battle Marciano in Val di Chiana was painted in 1563 in the Palazzo Vecchio when the Hall of the 1500s was being remodeled. Da Vinci's painting was thought to be destroyed then. But Seracini discovered spaces behind Vasari's painting, and began to suspect that the Da Vinci was still on the real wall underneath a kind of false front made for the newer fresco. Vasari himself may have left a tantalizing clue. One of his painted soldiers holds a flag reading: "He who seeks, finds."

Clintonville, Wisconsin (CNN) -- The mystery behind four days of unexplained shaking and odd sounds rattling Clintonville, Wisconsin, has been solved.
The cause? A "swarm" of minor earthquakes amplified by the unique bedrock beneath the state of Wisconsin.
The strange sounds -- variously described as rattling pipes, clanging metal, thunder or firecrackers -- have continued on and off since early Sunday night in just one part of the small town of 4,600, located about 180 miles northeast of Madison. They were loud enough Monday morning that a CNN journalist could hear them during a cell phone conversation with city administrator Lisa Kuss.
Speaking to Clintonville residents Thursday night, Kuss said the U.S. Geological Survey has determined that "our community did in fact experience an earthquake that registered 1.5 on the earthquake magnitude scale." That minor quake was measured on Tuesday night by several mobile earthquake monitoring stations that were dispatched to the region, she said.
Mystery booms puzzle Wisconsin residents
Based on all the data, the USGS believes the shaking and strange sounds are the result of "a swarm of several small earthquakes in a very short amount of time," Kuss said.
While these small earthquakes normally don't cause such commotion, Kuss said the location of the shallow temblors helped amplify the shaking.
You can rest easy now WW. It's only AN EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!

Hmmm. What causes a swarm of small earthquakes in Wisconsin? Wouldn't have anything to do with fracking...

And they do it in Michigan now too. Expect funny movements in the future.
