I haven't heard that story. I'm sitting comfortably, please begin

I'll come back later...
When we first moved to Devon our next door neighbours were huge animal nuts who had masses of exotic pets. I had an insane fear of spiders. Could not even be in a room with a money spider.
One day I am sat in my room and hear a scratching. I look up and screamed my head off. The neighbour's tarantula had escaped and was climbing my wall. The worse part was it was by the door and I had to get close to it to escape.
I screamed "Mummy mummy spider!" and my mum rolled her eyes, grabbed a tea towel, and headed upstairs before screaming herself for my Dad.

Was the tarantula okay? Was your Dad?
He was a funny shade when we found him. The eight legged object of Satan went back to his Mummy and Daddy.
Did spider get delivered back or did he make his own way? If delivered, what did your Dad use to catch it?
I find it gruesome that Bussell likes cutting up and skinning animals, what a strange hobby.

Don't worry, I've moved way beyond animals...
The neighbours came to fetch it. None of us were willing to go near it. They had all sorts of animals - snakes, birds, turtles, chipmunks, chinchillas....why couldn't the cute ones come for a visit?

Explains the handbag you sent me for my birthday.
I knew that was an ear on the side.
New gross thing: owl catarracts.
Thanks The One Show. 
Ohhh nooo! It doesn't happen to owls in hats does it?
Course nott!
The presence of wool counteracts the, erm... stuff.
Ah, of course; cotton is used to clean eyes so it must also be a preventative measure and when permanently wearing hats in fact gives marvellous scotopic vision (see useless facts thread), hence owls being night-creatures, in hats. Phew.
Preeecisely!
You lovely girl fiends, making me spurt tea across computer!
