On the one side I find them fascinating, love to watch spider documentaries on TV or the creepy crawlies <I>outside</I> my window, but the moment they get into the flat, I want a suit like those astronauts when they repair the space shuttle. Usually, it's poison spray and vacuum cleaner for them then. <BR/><BR/>Hate cobewebs, too. Disgusting, icky, sticky things.<BR/><BR/>And I never watched the Shelob scenes in the LOTR movie, now <I>that</I> one is too big even for my fascination with tarantula documentaries. ;)Gabriele Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-1156921884258129462006-08-30T08:11:00.000+01:002006-08-30T08:11:00.000+01:00Sweet?
