I stayed up until 1 AM last night. Sitting on my bed waiting. Left the lights on. Just as I was about to give up and try to sleep, the little bastard came scuttling out from under my bed. One of the cats pounced him, and I woke up my dad to smish him. Fucking spider. I'm setting out bug bombs tomorrow! :angry:

where do maggots come from?

I remember in biology we last year we learned about some guy who did an experiment. People used to think maggots were spontaneously generated, so he put meat in two jars. One covered and one left open. Maggots didn't show up in the covered jar. Anyway, like was said before, it's flies laying eggs and stuff. And it's icky.

I seem to remember that the Norse thought something along the lines of Dwarves being evolved from maggots.
