I remember when I had a 4 inch spider in my sister's room, It was so cool. I wanted to rescue it but my sis and grandma got to it first and killed it :'(!!! How sad.

But beetles are allot cooler that those Italian Audi thingies.
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

just went to the toilet.
found a tiny little spider there,probably a baby giant common house spider(can i call them gchs?)
didnt mind it,i like them as long as they are small and calm and not massive agresive effers.


That kind of attitude that other people have really pisses me off.  :(
Because it's a tarantula, It's a man-eating, venomous spider. ::) Oooooh look at that little house-spidey. How can it possibly hurt us? >:(.
Good thing there are educated people like you and most of the simV community that are educated ;). You can actually put a tarantula in your mouth and it won't bite you with the 1cm fangs :o.

The only way a spider gets into my mouth is by force of will greater than my own; if I'm unconscious, the results could be worse than unpleasant for me and disastrous for the spider; the closest I know of is awakening to a bite near my lip (lower right side of my face); spiders are normally intelligent enough to try to avoid me inside but such attacks upon me have only added to their demise.
I am not accustomed to lyin' with the lion nor inserting my head in the beast whether it be awake, asleep or a rug. Neither do I want a piece of any live creature, no matter its size, in my mouth and have never intentionally swallowed a bug.

Try biting down on a tarantula, though. All spiders have Venom. That is how they break down their food. All spiders will bite you if they go into panic mode because we may have rolled over on them in our sleep or tied them inside a shoe.. or stick them in our mouths! Yuk!

The only creatures I am not really happy with, are Rodents; Rats and Mice.
They carry diseases, and are all too willing to chase up my trouser leg...
...been there...had it happen!... :o...!

I think I could manage happily without Snakes, but everything else, I'm quite friendly with...

...apart from; "People"!
...Now they can do you some serious harm!....Trust me!... ;)...!
Put me in a room with a Spider, and I'm as happy as a Sandboy!.... :D...!

i actualy have a weird phobia:
jellyfish

i don't know why i am so scared of them because i never got stung,and i would like to keep it that way.

i don't like moths either but i am not realy afraid of them,depending on their size tough,small 1 cm ones are fine but anything larger is probably going to end up under a book.

I don't think many people would know that stars aren't actually burning or as much bout physics as you at your age.

thanks. :)
its just that when i read something about say:stars,i start looking up stuff about elecktrons,then i find out stuff about photons and so on and on.
its a enoying habit i have.

Actually snakes kill the rodents that you despise so much. But seriously, Leave a snake alone and it will mind it's own business. If they do bite they most likely won't inject venom. And The venom biting cases are extreeeeeemely rare.
Rodents don't carry diseases it's actually a thing from black death and that was the fleas and the ticks that the rats were carrying. So it technically wasn't the rat's choice. And when we say it is rats that destroy ecosystems who brought them there in the first place? :-/.

And the scariest thing is that you'll never see them. Just feel a sharp, venomous spine inside you and you'll be dead in a few hours. :o.

But I have that habit too :D.

My aphobia and the thing I'm scared of most, is nature itself. If It wanted us dead, We wouldn't survive a year before homo Sapiens are completely gone. And the worst thing is that it can do that without touching a single other species. Black death eg ;)

[color=#003300]Only a few days ago I clicked into a program where an officer was trying to describe how close a misidentified object had been to him: "If it had been a planet that close I would have been sunburned."
