a big huge scary spider!

Being the nice guy that I am, I grabbed my wireless apple keyboard next to me and terminated it..squishing this guy resulted in a lot of guts and such!

I'm actually surprised the keyboard withstanded the impact. I was laying in bed watching "The Eye" (P.S. The movie sucked balls, I highly recommend burning every copy you find) and all of a sudden I saw it crawl on the comforter over my feet. I was using the keyboard to control the movie, and within a second from seeing it I was thinking "Crap, I probably just broke my keyboard..." All's good though. Except for the movie. Really I'm serious when I say don't see it.

Oh yeah? The other night I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I had a wax blockage in my ear (used to have bad wax problems) so I got my kit to flush it out. As I was putting the drops in my ear was burning like crazy and I had a KILLER headache. After a few minutes of flushing my ear out with water, it turned out there was a 2 1/2" long live centipede in my ear. Not just sitting in my ear, but in my head out of the reach of my fingers.

Needless to say, I have not been sleeping very well at all lately.

Why did you have to tell me that? I was already freaking out about there maybe an eggsac in my bed somewhere, and I would wakeup to baby spiders in my ear. Thats it, sleeping with head phones on...

Yeah i was kinda making a parody on the other thread. They didn't mind the spider, I did.

I did...

Wow. I think that's actually worse than the time a moth flew into my cousin's ear. Centipedes are ****ing CREEPY.

Yeah, every night that I've gone to the bathroom this week to do my routine pre-bed stuff (Bathroom, teeth, skin, contacts) I've seen a huge spider. SCARY!

Needless to say, we're going to be gone this weekend because my dad and I will be taking everything out of the house (full days work) and fumigating the place. I HATE spiders.

I'd check the other ear. Seriously. Do millipedes lay eggs?

Be careful, those two Medivac choppers colliding this week.

One of the guys that died was on it for a bug bite that went bad... :eek:

Ugh I hate spiders. Really, can't stand them at all. I'm a huge arachnophobe. Even if they're dead, I can't tolerate them.

There was a big one in my bathroom, and I couldn't pee knowing it was there. Good job it went.

Oh and a couple of months ago a spider laid some eggs somewhere on my workstation (which is also my bed), resulting in spiders webs on my lamp, and various corners. Thankfully NOT on my iMac.

Was horrible D:

Hopefully your bed is fine.

actually, how much hair was on it?

a ton?

or just somewhat hairy?

that could be a brown recluse...very common where i live and a west coast scourge and responsible for deaths

while i am not that afraid of spiders in general, the brown recluse is one that i would squish in a second

sorry, god :)

I don't feel comfortable just sitting now.

Wow.

My stomach hurts so bad after I read the guy with the millipede or whatever in his ear.
I would have cried.
Like for weeks.
And gone to the doctor every day to make sure it didn't lay eggs.
Could you imagine waking up like that again, but with babies all in there.
UAALLL! (That's my gagging sound)

Wow.

I'm already scared of bugs, but just wow.
:eek:
