Still broken. Looked through all the linked photos and stuff from the Metafilter thread and kept thinking "cooool."

My step-father was a pretty manly man (while appearing somewhat effeminate) but he would scream like a little girl at even the wimpy spiders we get in Washington.

I'm still looking for my phobia. I grew out of the only one I ever had (public speaking).

Sadly I heard this on the news last night. So of course I had to open this thread.

Much like I finally watched all 3 Saw movies after walking out of the 2nd one and not sleeping for 2 weeks. Morbid curiosity - though I will NOT be opening that link.

The greatest thing about the story is that the kid was really into it, and had the doctor put the spiders into a little plastic case that he could show his friends.

Somehow, I've heard of this happening before.

I also remember hearing, and I think it was from my former boss who's a dentist (though I could be wrong), of a story about a young woman or perhaps just a girl had chronic halitosis since she was a young toddler. She went to the doctor, and it turned out she'd eaten part of a christmas tree, or something, that hadn't digested and was rotting in her stomach.

EWW

I probably would have done the same thing.

When I broke my hand a couple of years ago (shattered my fifth metacarpal), I kept one of the pins used to put hand back together.

I have the bebe that used to reside in Charles' leg.

The ear/bug thing is so Night Gallery.

I assume you mean a small metallic projectile (a bb) and not a fashionably overpriced t-shirt.

OH! That's how you "spell" it. ;)

I was surprised I had to read this on MSN this morning, considering it happened in the next town over and I've heard nothing about it:eek:

Will this kid's head explode when the eggs they laid hatch?

:D
