I once had a small, lazy bulldog puppy crawl into my truck behind a bucket and fall asleep. I was about halfway back to the shop when I heard barking. I called the homeowner, and, she was glad I had found her precious "fuzzpuff" I laughed the whole way back at the name!

macmikeman - I'm SCARED of centipedes! I'm not sure which ones are poisonous and which ones arent, so as a general rule, I Stomp first, ask questions later.

Of course, I'l alright with millipedes. They do smell a bit, but they are veggies, and if you touch them, they curl up into a ball.

Also, I'm getting more wary of spiders. Last night, after I locked up for bed, 2 spiders made 2 thick webs around my front and back door jambs. I went out to check the mail today, and caught it before it was too late. I turned to go out the back door, and there was a spider waiting in the middle.

And I just remembered, a few years back, I did a clear epoxy coating for my basement wet bar top, about 1/2" thick. Before it cured, a spider got in it. It wass all curled up, though, so it didn't look as cool.

A little late to the party here but...

My brother and I are working in a hot, jungle-like overgrown backyard in shorts and t shirts, and joking about all the things that are probably living in here- snakes, rats, roaches, spiders, wolves, vampires, etc.
About 5 minutes later a grasshopper jumps onto the back of my leg. I screamed bloody murder and my brother looks down, sees something, screams and takes a swing at my leg with a SHOVEL. (missed).

I never felt so ashamed in all my life.

A little off subject.
I used to work on the "Movieland Wax Museum" at night somestimes. Pretty interesting work.
There was a system of catwalks that ran above most of the displays.
One night, I bumped a cabinet up there and a spare WC Fields head fell off of a shelf right onto me. I nearly jumped off the catwalk in horror as it rolled off of my shoulder and went by my face.

Where I live they are ALL poisonous. Even the little bitty baby ones.
