Spider in the ear? Sounds like the "flies in your eyes" in Catch-22.

Hey, Cruez, here's some more willies for ya...according to some study or another, (I just heard this over the radio) the average human eats 3 spiders a year...while sleeping...

Of course, those in high density areas where there aren't many spiders in the first place end up eating less, while persons in open-country areas...like where YOU are.... they...uh...



are not very hungry in the morning....

Perhaps she should consider Q-tips once and a while.

Here's a famous one to listen to: Dr. Robert A. Lopez, DVM, on what it's like to deliberately infect yourself with cat ear mites. (He won the 1994 Ig Nobel Prize in Entomology for the research. )

reminds me of the twilight zone episode with the guy who was suffering from an earwik(sp?),a little worm that went in his ear and ate its way through his head nearly driving the man insane with pain in the process. after the man withstood all that pain,haveing had to be tied down to a bed for weeks or months i cant recall it that accuratly,the earwik came out his other ear and the pain was gone and he was a happy camper knowing that it was over....until........................
















the doctor had some bad news . said earwik was female,and youll never guess what it left in its wake......

Just a couple nights ago while dead cold asleep im awakend by the feeling that something rather large is zoomin across my face---I somehow grab "it" and give it a bounce off the wall, jumped out of bed and tried to see what it was but couldnt find it, moved my shoes in the morn and there is was, a brown nasty waterbug like the kind that comes scurrying out when a manhole cover is removed about this damn long |<-------------------->|
(They had been connecting a new sewerline next door the day before)

Ok so I exaggerated alittle bit---it was probably alittlebit smaller...
