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.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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

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

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.

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

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, good grief, why do I have this irrestible urge to click on these damn bug links?
I'm gonna need a drink to wash that last picture out of my mind before bedtime. nnnnnggghh
Bugs should not be large enough to look me in the eye. I met a giant praying mantis once at a gas station in Kentucky. The thing was easily as long as my forearm, sitting there on the gas pump, looking at me.

HELL NO I AM NOT CLICKING ANY OF THOSE LINKS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Pete warned me about something on the BBC site the other day, something about "spider labs". It sounds like a nifty article, and nifty science. Not gonna go read it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I have major squick due to three years working in kitchens in the South. When I was in training, we came back from Christmas leave and opened up the cooking classroom and flicked on the lights and thousands of baby roaches went scurrying under the stove.
I had one of those moments when I lived in a duplex with roommates and opened the clothes dryer one day to see scores of tiny roaches come spilling out of the rubber door seal. That's the only time I recall being conscious of my sanity lurching - luckily I opted for regular bug bombing with as much pesticide as I thought the cats could stand rather than the General Sherman approach, but it could have gone either way.
