"Muuh, spiders!!!!"

I hate spiders, but the worst thing is going into the bathroom late at night, turning on the light and finding there are loads all around you. Sometimes I wake up and they're squashed in my sheets too. It's like the spiders in my house are all charles Bronson in Deathwish, or something.

BB guns are for losers. The real warrior uses elastic bands from a distance and really small water pistols.

You don't actually, that so called fact is false.

Anyway, the size of the average house spider is increasing every year since people rather than kill the things let them go so they can grow up to be slightly larger than usual.

I kill every spider I catch in the house, big and small, usually by dropping them in a sink full of hot water so their insides boil. It's either that or wait until next year when they come back bigger and nastier looking, and I'm not having those things running around in my house.

Did you know in your lifetime you swallow (on average) 6 spiders in your sleep ?

The early bird gets the worm. The blackbird gets ortegas bugs.

I done that today with some weird bug today i found in my house. I was thinking of killing it straight away becasue i didnt want it coming back in my my house but opted to let it live. The irony is that a blackbird swooped out of nowhere and ate the poor thing!

they do, to quote starship troopers :
