We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I actually quite liked that movie!

"Fellow cockaroachies, we must save Joe!"

Now that I know these are wood roaches that don't breed indoors, the gross, greasy, filthy feeling I have is gone. Sorta.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Arachnophobia was less horrifying and more funny than I expected, too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have to tell you, this discussion was confusing me immensely. I thought that by waterbugs, you meant waterbugs. Which I'm sure you wouldn't want in your home. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I thought that by waterbugs, you meant waterbugs. Which I'm sure you wouldn't want in your home.

Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek opens with a long and horrifying discussion of the water bug.

Says you!

I actually have to cover my eyes for the last part of the Land of the Lost trailer with the giant bugs. Despite the horrid CGI.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm fairly certain that when bt's waterbug eating a FROG link says "Napa County, California", it actually means the Napa Co, CA in AUSTRALIA.

Aus has the truly scary uncrushables.

I don't really see many waterbugs in Melbourne. We do have them in Australia, and apparently the Sydneysiders grow up to 7 cm long. I've still always thought of them as an American thing.

Oh, in South-East Asia some of them can reach 12 cm long. That's one impressive waterbug.

I was taken to that movie on a first date. There was no second date.
