Yeah. The Sun and the Daily Mail. It is certainly a fact that they have written what yuo have quoted, so I suppose the Facts Board is the right place, up to a point! I imagine that whoever named the spider did so because its death-dealing properties reminded them of the anti-Roman Jews. And I also imagine that the Mexican gangster must have found his new name somewhere: probably also from the ancient Jews since the sicarius spider doesn't appear to occur in Mexico. But who knows, really? And why Mr McGrath, a British citizen, would choose a Mexican crook or a toxic arachnid, or both, to name himself after isn't clear either. Thanks very much for the info; it's fascinating!
