I'm not. My cat will find any bug and destroy it... and then I get to step on its [the bug] dead body while stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night...

Dude my roommates cat fills my floor with dead bugs all the time. They tell me the cat likes me but I know its a subliminal message about my future.

hey, you guys get it lightly. my cat used to bring parts of rodent/bird to my parents' bedroom door as a present. one time, my cat presented my parents the head and spine of a fieldmouse.

a bit like this:

My cats do that shit all the time. I remember one Saturday, they brought a bird. On Sunday, they brought a fuckin dead rabbit. The next Saturday it was a snake and the next day, a half-eaten frog.

I try to be all nice and shit since its a present but after a while, it grosses you out. I basically have a shovel dedicated to scooping up dead animals.

Fear not. This "statistic" was not only made up out of whole cloth, it was invented as an example of the absurd things people will believe simply because they come across them on the Internet.

Oh, boy.

my friend was sitting on the porch with her boyfriend, talking like usual, at like 2 in the morning, when a moth flew into her ear. she freaked out so much, and went to the dr's. it took a long time to get it out, cause they tried different methods (one being water? i cant remember them all) eventually they got it out, and her ear hurt for a few days.

i would be in a lot of panic if this happened to me

o_mooga · 09-28-2006, 07:34 AM

Even though it's fake, the state was that the average person swalows 2 or 3 spiders while sleeping durring their life time.

o_bubbles · 09-28-2006, 08:42 AM

Couldn't care less. There are no venomous insects in Finland. :d

my house is filled with fruit flies >_< ... I dont know where theyre finding the fruit thought, its all in cans! ... we get maggots in our dumpster a lot too, but they dont immediately migrate into the house... I have a policy of not killing ANY spider in the house, because where I live the housing is built on a swamp and we have serious mosquito problems cuz we live next to a pond to boot...

they released several dozen bats about 5 yrs ago, wow, they realy took down the population of mosquitos, but now we have flocks of bats flying in our forest, without any predators and a never ending supply of bat food... however, I'd rather have bats than mosquitos... and hence why i dont kill spiders, they get all the other bugs that get into my home...
