I have a very strange love/hate relationship with spiders. I'm not really afraid of them (unless I know it's poisonous, I've seen quite a few black widows in my day), but I have a lot of dreams with them and can "still see them" when I wake up. It creeps me the Hell out. I rarely kill them when I see them, and sometimes I'll let them crawl on me. I can also shoot webs out of my wrists. If you ever want to really get freaked out by spiders, do a Google image search for "camel spider" (AKA sand scorpion), which are native to Iraq, or look at pictures of the effects of a Brown Recluse bite. You'll end up being at least a little scared of spiders.
