A creepy little addition to the fear of spiders thing. I read that in the course of a year you will swallow an average of 4 spiders in your sleep :eek:
I'm sure Elk will appreciate learning that.

A shark is the only animal that will turn it's stomach inside out to empty the contents, just so he can keep eating!

actually, i was in history class on friday and learned the romans used to have parties with 10-15 course meals, and in between 2 or 3 courses peole went to designated "vomit rooms" with feathers that patrons tickled the back of their throat, or even used their own finger to puke up the first coupla courses, because it was considered dishonor to not eat ALL 10-15 courses.. ewwwww.... :uh:
