A refrigerator full of Madagascar hissing cockroaches. A dead rat isn't that bad. All you need to do is remove the body while wearing a pair of gloves and disinfect the keyboard.

the cockroach. I dont want no pest touching my cake.(I love cake)

I don't have a problem with most mammals. :)

I ****ing hate arthropods. :x

The cockroaches by far, at least the dead rat is not too much of a problem, I'll probably would have to buy a new keyboard but the refrigerator could be pretty impressive, specially considering the size of it's inhabitants.

Yep, once you open the door they are free.

The rat. I hate rats. I can handle the tame kind, but not the wild. I don't really understand it, I could be near a funell-web spider, have a snake wrapped around my face (good times) or even a friend's pet rat scamper up my arm and I'd be fine. But if I see wild mouse or rat I'm across the room in 2 seconds, regardless of how alive it is.

Well they might be alive, but they probably wouldn't be moving (much, if at all).

Fun project for the OT! You can put bugs in your fridge, make them seem utterly dead, and then bring tem back to life. I believe some "magicians" have used this same trick, like with resurrecting house flies. I once caught a butterfly and had it in my fridge for three days before releasing it. Once warmed up, it flew away like noting was wrong with it.

So...fun project for the OT. This works for some bugs, but not for others. Some bugs do better in the cold, some bugs go into suspended animation, and some bugs immediately die if they get exposed to the cold. Fun project is to catch LOTS of different types of bugs, put them in your refrigerator for a short amount of time, and then try to revive them after they look dead. Find out whch bugs are more susceptible to the cold. It's fun!

How about waking up to find a leech on your eyeball?

Honestly, a better scenario to replace the dead rat on the keyboard, would to walk in your garage to see the entire wall filled with these:

You just reminded me of this little experiment.

Firstly, I am not the least bit terrified of spiders. But I don't think those are spiders. I think those are "harvestmen", aka "opiliones", aka "TRUE daddy long legs".

Simply going by the length of their legs in comparison to the size of their bodies, I'm saying that there's no way that those are actually spiders.

Here's the thing though...if those are "harvestmen" instead of spiders, then they are COMPLETELY harmless. They also somehow manage to creep me the **** out. Something about their freakish body dimensions, and the way that they just bob up and down. It's irrational as hell, I know that they can't hurt me, but being in contact with those animals gives me the ****ing chills.

And most importantly, if that picture was not Photoshopped or deliberately staged, then what the hell? I admit to not knowing much about these animals, bvut every time I've seen one, it has simply been one isolated individual. Are there REALLY cases in which these bastards all get together in a huge Flock Of Horror? Under what situations do they congregate like that? And furthermore, the creeepiest thing about finding ONE of those bastards is the disturbing way that they move after you poke them. Now multiply that by about 3 thousand, and what would it look like to upset a FLOCK of these things?

Those are Pholcidae, AKA Granddaddy Long-legs. They are indeed harmless, but seeing a flock of those like in this vid would definitely creep the hell out of me....

Now that's just under your house. Imagine them doing that on your wall....

Congratulations, guys. You've done something that has only happened to me a few times in my entire life: you have literally given me the chills, and completely creeped me the **** out.

I had no idea that these animals congregated in such huge numbers. And the idea of encountering a group of THOUSANDS of these animals, all doing their creepy dance at the same time...I'm gonna have nightmares about that.
