I'm still reeling from a tasty little morsel of info I got this morning. The average person eats 10 spiders a year in their sleep!

Not at all related to spiders, but definitely in the Huh? category:
I did a cool dangerous thing a couple of weeks ago. I was out in the desert playing with scorpions - didja know that they glow a brilliant green when a black light is shone upon them?
Damn Nature, you scary.

Hey, come on guys and lighten up. I was wanting to have fun with this. The scenerio brought a plethera of questions to my head. 1. How big a study group was used? 1.a. Where did you find that many people willing to give up sex for a year while they were watched/ or just didn't care who watched? 2. If someone was there, why didn't they swat the offending arachnoid away? 3. I'm on a diet. How many calories is that? 4. If this was a video study, should I be checking my bedroom for little red lights?

At least KittyKat isn't as bad as the last cat-related poster we had.

On a related scorpion note, you can boil them, then freeze them, them thaw them and they will live.

I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I went to put on my shoes one morning this week and found one of these guys waiting on me. He didn't like the bright light and started spinning in a circle with his tail up and ready.

Man that would freak me out. Not a fan of scorpions... nor spiders... Not sure if it's the time of year or weather or what but the tarantulas have been out in full force here lately. I realize they're basically harmless but damn they give me the creeps.

Just wait until you discover Scorpion Gulch in New Vegas. Yes, that's a real location, and yes, it's got a lot of scorpions.

Thanks, but no thanks. I think I’ll pass on this one.
