"Cats are curious by nature, and always want to investigate anything new. However, Stick Insects resent their intrusion, and are likely to be angered quickly and lash out without warning."

thankfully for all out entertainment, some people must have way too much time on their hands! lol. brilliant.
my fave:
"After intense lobbying, the European Union has finally agreed to recognise Pashmids as insects instead of the previous classification as fruits."

wtf!?!?!?!

Camel Spider THE Picture everyone is talking about. - even better
When my ARMY unit was deployed in Iraq back in 03 we came across what we would come to know as a Camel Spider, it was dead so we took some measurements. The thing measured just under 10 inches (including the legs) and had a good 3/4 inch bite, it was something we didn't want to run across while it was still alive. Sure enough we never saw one again in Iraq, Kuwait was a diffrent story. We must have seen at least a dozen of them walking together down our motorpool and scared the crap out of everyone. The next day there was one right out side our tent (the tents we had were 10 feet high) and the damn thing jumped on top of it effectively clearing out the immediate area of any human presence. I came across someone a week later who had a run in with one with a 8 inch patch on his back where a Camel Spider had effectively eaten about 1/4 inch deep 5 inch round area out of him.
