Arachnophobia can be triggered by the mere thought of a spider or even by a picture of one, in some cases. Many people who fear spiders feel panic entering a situation where spiders may be present. Symptoms include excessive sweating, rapid breathing, a quickened heartbeat, nausea and dizziness.

Some arachnophbics will, on entering a room, search it for a spider. If they find one they will monitor its progress very thoroughly. Others will do all in their power to distract themselves to avoid seeing the spider.

There are historical and cultural reasons for arachnophobia. In the Dark Ages spiders were commonly considered to be a source of contamination of food and water. They were believed to be the cause of the Bubonic Plague (though in reality rat-fleas were in fact the true culprits). This misplaced fear has been passed down since the 10th Century.

Often the fear is caused by a frightening incident in earlier life. Sometimes people have the misconception that such a startling event has to be a memorable ordeal. Yet many don't even recall the events that led to their phobia. The mind can create a phobia based on a split second of panic.

Ggggrrr.... That coach 1 makes me angry! Me and eric worked SO hard to make it to the top of the shuffel board tournement (awesome game, not for old people) when we somehow go left without a game and watched this other team play the leaders. They sucked and cheated so they gave up and let us play them. after about three disk shot she called for the teams to rotate and we never got to start the game! so we just stayed so the teams were all off wack then she SENT US TO THE BOTTOM!! its cause she hates us. we r too cool for her PE teaching ways. im supa steamed bout this. I was thinkin about fightin coach one but then i decided not to. she has been alot nice then from the start of the year thou. She thinks me and eric ae hooligans and she doesnt like jokes about lepers. Well im kinda coolin down, but if she thinks this is over then she is dead wrong!

So anyways im dun...

Life... "Life is like a bucket of woodshavings... Unlss its a pale... then its a pale of woodshavings"... Man doesnt that just touch you?

Doesnt it just burn you when your friend leaves you for some jerk who is completly changing that person, but they are to blind to even realize it?! Dont you hate when they get mad at you for careing about them and looking out for them when they cant?
Dont you hate when that person hates you for being a good friend?

And now that that person was gone that person had no one to be their friend cause their life was centered around that person, so what im trying to get at is lovers come and go but friends are always there no matter what, and i would want my friends to do the same thing to me if some girl ever comes between us...

1) The Romans had no letter "U" in their alphabet.

2) The Romans used the letter "V" for "U."

3) Using the Roman alphabet: CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR becomes CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR.

4) Extracting the Roman numerals from CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR, we get C, V, V, L, D, I, V.

5) Substitute the decimal equivalents for the Roman numerals: C=100, V=5, L=50, D=500, I=1.

6) Add all decimal equivalents: C=100, V=5, V=5, L=50, D=500, I=1, V=5

7) The total of the above numbers is 666.

8) In the Bible, 666 is the mark of the Beast.

9) The Beast is Satan.

10) Therefore . . .
