That's either really funny...or really weird. Perhaps both.

We are working as briskly as we can to make these Kits, but there is a lot of grief in this world. And there are a lot of bugs.

I am disturbed that I find this so oddly poignant.

I find it touching also. It makes a lot more sense if you have a four year-old.

Personally, I find Pink-toed Tarantulas kind of cute and lovable as far as animals go. They're pretty friendly as far as bugs go, which mostly means they won't jump out of your hand or attack you. I'd get a kid one in a second.

That's adorable. But I've always been enamored of the cute-but-poignant.

Thanks braun_richard. Obviously some people are going to be baffled by it, but I really liked this link.

I just wish the eulogy poetry weren't so cynical.

So now we know what people do with those foot long millipedes you can buy at the pet store.
