Spiders on a computer screen don't bother me.
As for little house centipedes like that... they bite, yes, but it's about as painful as a bee sting and they only bite if you bother them. I always go HRRNGNGNGN when I spot one, but unless it's someplace it shouldn't be- like in the bathroom- I let the little bastard live. I can deal with them. I can't deal with spiders. Not when we have SO MANY.

'k then; I'll come over & kill all your spiders if you'll come over & kill all my centipedes. I figure there are enough of each of those nasties outside that the world won't miss the few hundred we kill in our respective homes.
I admit to being a bleeding heart at times, but not when it comes to those multi-legged buggers crawling up my leg. I never knew they bit before, so now my war against them has resumed in earnest. As for all the spiders they were supposed to eat in my house, well, just to make things even I'll kill them, too.
:p

I'm not sure in which alternate universe Tocky is living, but in mine, honey bees won't go for rotting meat, fermenting old fruits, trash bins or other crap so that they don't pollute their hive with the garbage. Contrary to other crawlies, honey bees don't have any use for anything except nectar and pollen, and some resin to shut up holes in the hive walls.
Also, in Tocky's alternate universe, honey apparently usually comes in coca cola flavour? Disgusting.
But to be honest, a honey bee would go for your slice of bread if you put honey onto it and place it in close proximity of the hive. They would do their best not to take the bread though, just the honey.

Hey I'm just telling you what I've seen. I never mentioned a thing about garbage but I've seen them fly out of coke cans. I have no idea what they want there. I love bees. Poor buggers had that disease that made threatened to wipe them out. They make the flowers bloom and the crops fruit. I'll tell you another thing they will do and that's land on a watermellon. I don't know why. I'm just telling you what I've seen. I also know of a kid who died when his allergic reaction to a bee sting closed his throat after drinking a coke. I'm no expert, I know honey comes in various colors depending on their diet. I also live real close to Tupelo of Eric Clapton "Tupelo honey" just as an aside. I love honey. A close neighbor has hives.
As for spiders, "I see in nature no defeat or in myself in my retreat for yet another blow". There is a stretch of interstate between Witchita Falls and Lubbock where herds of tarantulas cross the road in droves. They must get killed in the untold thousands. They cover the road all moving in a semi-solid mass of quickly crawling wave on wave of horror. I've often wondered what it would be like to be camping all snug in a sleeping bag among the high chapperal when a herd moves through. Think about that dethy.

The only good thing Eric Clapton ever did was throw a baby out of a window and write a song about it.

I was *this* close to independently posting that video in the "What are you listening to now" thread well before seeing this link, just because I was so mind blown.

My kids have been singing that damn song for months!

I can see why kids would like it. As long as they haven't seen the video. A thing like that could scar a child for life. Hell, I threw up a little in my mouth myself.
