WHY AREN'T STINKBUGS ON THIS LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, if you've been through yearly infestations with these, you'd understand.


As much as I looooooaaaattthee spiders, I know they are actually good for killing other icky bugs, so they get a pass.

Say MoeJoe, why are you afraid of sharks? They will only bump you and swim away, unless they are hungry or having a bad day.

As a child my younger sister mercilessly teased me at the swimming baths by singing the music from Jaws when I approached the deep end. Since that moment I've been deathly afraid that I will die under the bone-crunching jaws of a Great White shark

Can I add sisters to the list mods, they're a kind of animal, right?

I am most definitely with you on this one.

I had malaria as a twelve year old in Zimbabwe (spread by mosquitos) and have loathed them ever since then.

I agree, kill them all.

heh, i'm pretty sure a case could be made in favour of that, however speaking as a girl with siblings and therefore technically (a mere detail !) a sister myself, in the interest of self-preservation i think i'm going to decline this particular request...


(don't worry, i'm sure some other, non-female mod with fewer scruples will be along shortly. )

Seeing that my girlfriend has a brother and is thus strictly speaking a sister, I also have to decline that option. But I do believe in merciless tickling...

I spoke to my younger sister a few days ago and she reminded me that, not only did I read her private diary when we were teenagers, but I inserted comments in the margin
