A two foot long insect with Vise Grips on its' head? I'd have shot it.

It couldn't live. Either it would collapse under its own weight, (Exoskeletons don't scale well so I've read) or it would suffocate. (They don't have lungs and circulatory systems like you, I and whales.  They have to diffuse oxygen or something thru the skin, or some such odd stuff.  Back long ago when the oxygen in the air was greater, around 25%, there were dragon flys with 3 foot wingspans, again, so I've read)

Your ex? Is it good in bed. Let me guess: though it may look ungainly, it makes to die for sammiches.

They're actually pretty cool critters. They can't really hurt you, short of snagging your eyeball or somesuch.

What's funny is to show one to a cat.

They use those mouthparts to wrestle othr males for dominance and therefore mating rights.  It's pretty cool to watch, in fact it is a betting sport in some countries.

Nothin' wrong with a unicycle. If he can ride the thing, I'm amazed! It's certainly not something you see everyday!

Between that shirt and the unicycle it is probably safe to assume that he owns a Real Doll too.

Especially considering that the article abstract pinned up (in the closet...) reads:
Termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage.



Seems it's been up there for 3.5 years, too.
