Superstar Michael Jackson (http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/12/03/offbeat.jackson.reut/index.html) turned up on crutches in a California courtroom on Tuesday after a close encounter with a spider.
Jackson, whose bizarre appearance and baby-dangling antics have made headlines around the world for the past three weeks, was resuming testimony in a $21 million lawsuit over canceled millennium concerts.
Explaining the crutches and the white athletic sock he was wearing on one foot, Jackson told reporters; "It is a spider bite. It is real bad. If I showed it to you, you'd be shocked. It hurts very much right now as I speak."
The poor spider died of fright after looking at Jacksons "face". http://home.earthlink.net/~sbp777/smilies/eek7.gif
