When my son was 3 or 4, there was a praying mantis on our sidewalk. He was petting it and saying "Nice praying mantis". It sat there and let him for a minute or so. Then it charged him. It was the funniest thing ever and I am pretty sure we would have won the 10K on AFV, if I had been recording. He still remembers it. He ran and screamed and it chased him!

Poor kid's probly tramatized for life, but so totally :lolbangtable:

I was going to say something like..."You ever notice how cwayaustx always exaggerates about the size of things?"

funny you say that, I was looking up the centipedes and looks like I did add an inch or two....


I have a sticker on my bathroom mirror that says objects in mirror are smaller than they appear...

Only dark water. I got washed off the jetty at the beach as a kid and tangled up in the sea weeds. I could see a giant fish below me and it kept going into the dark and coming back. Lifeguard pulled me out of the water then said wow did you see that shark? I woke up 30 minutes later in terror. The next year I was about 9 I tried to get over it by swimming out to the half mile buoy at Huntington Beach. When I got there I looked down and froze. There was a Barracuda no less than 3 feet from me. I climbed on the buoy and screamed until the LG came and got me. I pointed to the fish and he said yep big barracuda. Even in our lake I get freaked out when i swim in it because I can't see the bottom. Did you see tham movie "Open Water" I think where the couple were stuck out in the ocean all alone. I had to turn it off about 5 times because I was having anxiety attacks watching it.

But something that I thought was horrific was in the movie King Kong (new one) where they were in the chasm and all the giant bugs came out and started "SILENTLY" ripping people apart or eating their heads off. Really gave me the creeps because there was no noise from the bugs at all.

That my dear is the title to a "Meatloaf" song (except that it's rear view mirror and closer, instead of smaller) :)

Can't understand how in heaven people get off on such tangents on this forum :lolbangtable:
