I was listening to the radio this morning, and heard some very disturbing news. My *worst* nightmare came true for some poor woman. Apparently, she went to the doc because she was having terrible headaches. After a thorough examination, the doc found ... that a spider had crawled into her ear canal and was living inside it -- it had even spun a web.

That's it. After hearing that and the factoid that, over their entire lifespan, the average human being swallows 8 spiders during their sleep was enough to put me over the edge. I'll now be sleeping with mesh net draped over my entire body. And ear plugs.
