if you're just looking for an excuse to stick electrodes on somebody, i'm pretty sure that doesn't matter. you don't even have to use vr. i can probably think of a few people who might "benefit" from that sort of treatment...

I'm a victim too. I claim no responsibility for acts of nature.

Well, the stupid code of ethics requires that I have a reasonable excuse before applying electricity to someone's nadgers. Otherwise, I'd get your list from you.

He does. Because of the "stupid code of ethics". Pay attention, please.

a "horror" of spiders sounds appropriate if you ask me.

I'm partial to either a "shriek" of spiders or a "scream" of spiders.

When I was living in Japan, grapes were one of the rare fruits that could be bought in ordinary stores for a reasonable price. (The Japanese consider fruit as a delicacy. You usually find them in the basement of department stores - the food area - in intricate packaging, for presents.) There were often small balls of spiderweb stuck between the fruit. One day, I found that these spiderweb balls actually contained spider eggs. That was the day they all decided to hatch, and I found all those tiny spiders running around in my plate. That was fun

note to self, version the third : along with all candy from florence, wrapped or not, maybe it's best to avoid grapes, in general. definitely japanese grapes.

Memo to zelda: For total safety, restrict all communication/contact with florence to internet ONLY. If you receive any packages from florence, call the bomb squad and have them blow it up!

And I bet you ate them too!

The spiders! After you licked the chocolate off the raisins!

Well, think of it this way: it means they don't drown their grapes in insecticide. I have never found any spider in French grapes. Is that a good thing? I don't know.

I also remember that when I was a kid, we would regularly find an insect in peaches (un perce-oreille - Google translate says earwigs?). Where have they gone? I haven't seen one in years. Not that I miss them as such, but I don't like what it means.
