Apparently, throughout your lifetime, you will inhale and eat something like 800 spiders in your sleep...

Re: Fyron\'s no longer an Antaran?
 

the number is much larger and refers to general insects - ive seen that statistic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Kodos, this is a waste. If its a big and flying thing, get a can, can it, put a paper under. Then release outside. If its just a small bug (spider) get yourself a piece of soft paper (tissue paper) and carefully put it ontop, squeeze, grab, remove, throw to trash bin.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's what I usually do! Only, I use a glass, and run it on small bugs and crawlers as well as fliers. Most insects are actually quite benifical, and squashing them just means cleaning bug juice out of the carpet/wall/table/whatever. Trapping them and releasing them alive avoids that.

Re: Fyron\'s no longer an Antaran?
 

well, i actually meant a glass bottle or whatever - its just the more convenient. And the worst thing about bugs is they're realy messy creatures - leave lotsa juice. there's even a song on that on russian, translated without rhymes:

"i caught myself a bug
without a trap, without a net
and now my hand
is all in blood of that bug"

Re: Fyron\'s no longer an Antaran?
 

I usually grab a glass because they are transparent; I can confirm that I actually have the bug, and can watch it crawl onto the paper I slid under the glass so I don't need to injure it in trapping it. Besides, a surprising number of crawling insects have difficulty climbing the inside surface of a drinking glass; it's a mild added measure of security against needing to catch the bug again immediately.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">But if this thread were never started we may never have heard about the Punk Rock Vorlon Encounter Suit.

And that would be so unfortunate.

[edit: posting in a two page thread from the oldest page...]

I find and relocate (or kill, depending on various things) a spider once every three days or so in my house. I just bought it, so I have some idea of how it may have been kept before. I don't know what the spiders are doing to feed themselves, but there sure are a lot of them. No Widows, yet, so no worries: spider bites during sleep are par.

I can sympathize with having a buggy new house. Ours was overrun with various bugs when we moved in. Of course, my wife also had to sweep the top of the refrigerator off with a broom before she could dust it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

And it says all over the world. You forget that there are different standards of living. And often the countries with the poorest have the largest population. So the **** that happens there will affect the average more then what happens in modern countries like the US, Canada, Britain, ETC ETC.
