I like spider plants. They're interesting. With tons of "little baby" plants hanging from them, just waiting for the opportunity to grow on their own. Pretty cool. I actually like real spiders as well. People have a tendency to freak out when they see them. I don't get it. I think they're quite beautiful. And beneficial. They kill insects that spread disease like mosquitoes and flies. I think they get a bad wrap from black widows. Insect or not, we should all be wary of creatures that kill their mates. And what would have happened to Wilbur in Charlotte's Web if it weren't for that crafty spider friend of his, Charlotte???
I guess the lesson here is that just because something looks scary doesn't necessarily mean that it is. Take that old German guy on Monster Squad for example. He was creepy as hell, but he ended up holding the key to sending all the monster's back through the black hole. This does not apply to Carrot Top. He looks scary as hell and I have yet to find any evidence to the contrary. Maybe the lesson is null and void now that I think about it. Some scary things are cool, but some, well, aren't. Feel free to pick and choose at your discretion.
