dⒶ₪dℯlli⊙n wonders Aug 20, 2008 05:27AM why do we have that irrational fear of bugs, spiders and scorpios?
Seikatsu says Aug 20, 2008 05:30AM bugs, I don't know spiders and scorpions humm can be very dangerous
Vicious says Aug 20, 2008 05:33AM I also had a pet black widow and I used to play with the daddy long legs around the house...I love creepy crawly stuff though
sezmra says Aug 20, 2008 05:33AM Not sure..could be a self-preservation thing. I personally was scared out of my skin once by a spider.
Joankr says Aug 20, 2008 05:42AM Can't fathom why you should fear bugs & spiders, but Scorpios, on the other hand, they can be *fearsome* beings!
dⒶ₪dℯlli⊙n Aug 20, 2008 05:47AM Trick is, I usually don't. But I saw a scorpio avatar and felt something in the back of my consciousness.
ArminaX says Aug 20, 2008 06:07AM it's simple; when our amphibian & reptile ancestors took to land, the major predators were spiders and insects. we still remember that!
dⒶ₪dℯlli⊙n Aug 20, 2008 06:32AM Actually, ArminasX' theory makes sense. Mice are close relatives to rats. And we'll never forgive them the plague.
Cooky Aug 20, 2008 06:42AM giggles to all of those above, but sometimes we just have to face our fears!!!
Tenebrous has Aug 20, 2008 08:42AM only just noticed that dandellion wrote "scorpios"... fortunately, I'm Aquarius
Tarissa says Aug 20, 2008 09:00AM arminasx is right, or at least I agree. I saw some report on TV and they tested even babies with pictures and found out, that everyone...
Tarissa says Aug 20, 2008 09:01AM Thanks to our clever minds *coughs* we should be able to overcome the fear (love-fear-timeline? *hrhr*), but most of us can live with
DedFast Aug 20, 2008 11:52AM can't stop the automagic reflex if a bug buzzes/flies/crawls over him. But if I see it coming, then I don't mind bodily contact
Loaf hates Aug 20, 2008 12:01PM spiders, but doesn't midn other crawlies. Scorpions are quite tasty when covered in chocolate
Moggs says Aug 20, 2008 01:14PM in Australia, our spiders, sea creatures and snakes can be quite deadly so it might be somewhat rational.
Moggs Aug 20, 2008 01:17PM really only discriminates against redbacks - is sensibly cautious about snakes and sea critters and is not afraid of rats or mice.
dⒶ₪dℯlli⊙n Aug 20, 2008 01:18PM I agree that not all the fears are irrational. Just examining the other type.
dⒶ₪dℯlli⊙n Aug 20, 2008 01:19PM It really surprised me this morning. I have a dead scorpio in frame, never feared it. Still, that avatar made a thrill.
Joankr says Aug 21, 2008 12:58AM Nikkidancer, I did say Scorpios *can* be scary - you are certainly exempt!
Joankr says Aug 21, 2008 12:59AM arminasx - is that true about spider-fear in DNA!!???! Cuz I'd be glad to have an excuse for my fear of those creepy crawlers!
and I used to play with the daddy long legs around the house...I love creepy crawly stuff though
