Kelly, I'm a little hinky about bridges too. And I really don't like them at night!

Slugs don't scare me, Trixie. Not as long as I can still out run them. ;D

I went to San Francisco when I was in law school and I damn near had a panic attack when I was on the golden gate bridge. I just am so afraid they're going to collapse!

In case there weren't enough things to be afraid of WILLS POINT, Texas - Entomologists are debating the origin and rarity of a sprawling spider web that blankets several trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch of trail in a North Texas park. Officials at Lake Tawakoni State Park say the massive mosquito trap is a big attraction for some visitors, while others won't go anywhere near it. "At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," said Donna Garde, superintendent of the park about 45 miles east of Dallas. "Now it's filled with so many mosquitoes that it's turned a little brown. There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs." Spider experts say the web may have been constructed by social cobweb spiders, which work together, or could be the result of a mass dispersal in which the arachnids spin webs to spread out from one another. "I've been hearing from entomologists from Ohio, Kansas, British Columbia — all over the place," said Mike Quinn, an invertebrate biologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department who first posted photos online. Herbert A. "Joe" Pase, a Texas Forest Service entomologist, said the massive web is very unusual. "From what I'm hearing it could be a once-in-a-lifetime event," he said. But John Jackman, a professor and extension entomologist for Texas A&M University, said he hears reports of similar webs every couple of years. "There are a lot of folks that don't realize spiders do that," said Jackman, author of "A Field Guide to the Spiders and Scorpions of Texas." "Until we get some samples sent to us, we really won't know what species of spider we're talking about," Jackman said. Garde invited the entomologists out to the park to get a firsthand look at the giant web. "Somebody needs to come out that's an expert. I would love to see some entomology intern come out and study this," she said. Park rangers said they expect the web to last until fall, when the spiders will start dying off.

Trixie!!! I am scared of spiders!!! And I'd like to point out that article takes place in Texas and mentions Kansas and Ohio. You've just scared the crap out of half the people on this board! ;D ;D Plat, Kelly, Tex, Beth and I are just thrilled about this!

One of the creepiest feelings is when you're walking at night and you walk into a spider web!!! I feel like I have a spider crawling on me for like the next hour.

Elevators! I'll walk up 50 flights before I'll take an elevator *shudders* OMG! I sometimes get panic attacks when I get in elevators. I don't think it's claustrophobia. It's just being in a steel box hanging by a wire. LOL! ;D I have 2 biggest fears though...Biscuits (you know those containers where you pull the tab and they pop. I hate that sh!t.) And Clowns. I swear clowns are all from hell. ;D ;D ;D

Clowns are evil! If they're so damn happy all the time, they've got to be up to something. Something sinister I bet

For those of you with fear of elevators, don't see Live Free or Die Hard then. The elevator scene in the fourth one puts the first one to shame. God, I love Bruce.

I swear clowns are all from hell. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Kim, my sister Trish hates that too. She always makes her husband open the can of biscuits. (I don't like them either. I'm kinda high strung and jumpy by nature.) Claustrophobia+fear of heights=elevators! I just had a horrifying thought. Being trapped in an elevator with a biscuit can wielding clown!
