Yuck, yuck yuck! I was watching one of those little darlings one day, it
jumped on my foot and bit me! No, seriously, it was on the bed, I sat down,
put my foot up and landed on it. My toe swelled like there was no tomorrow
and the pain was incredible.

I'll take a big garden spider over those minuscule monsters any day!
