the window to my dorm room is becoming COVERED by ladybugs... should I be worried?

This is starting to remind me of that movie The Birds....

    Have a can of deoderant and a lighter ready incase they attack and suck your blood.

    I think you should be safe though. Cool that you still have them in the states, they've long left here.

    :eek2: What kind of deordant do you have over there... the "can of deordant" freaked me out enough, but its also flamable? Freaky stuff... no wonder why theres a stereotype of stinky foriegners, they have flamable deordant in a can, I wouldn't wear it either. :p

    Go on. Get a can of any aerosol (hairspray, deoderant, etc) and hold al ighter to the spray. (KEEP HAND AWAY. BE CAREFUL.) Bet it's flamable.

    But you see, I've never heard of deordant in a can or spray form, or flamible deordant. Its quite disturbing :( Hairspray, yes, but not deordant. I wouldn't want anything flamable or anything that sprays out of a can getting near my pits :p

    AXE body spray for example, it burns when you hold a lighter in front of the spray.

    Oh, I getcha. I guess its my crappy understanding of language :pI really should start reading a dictionary, my word of the day email is faling me I use deordant and anti-persperant interchangably, even though if you stick it under your pits it whill hopefully always be anti-persperant. While I would consider axe to be a) hurl in a can or b) body spray/cologne

    Thank you very much. I understand now :thumb:

    I noticed when I was in America I could hardly find girls deodarant in spray cans! Mainly just in roll ons, I suppose its better for the environment.

    ooh, and apparently Daddy Long Legs are a really poisonous kind of spider but they dont have any teeth so they can't bite you. Something like that. I learned that fact of the kids on summer camp :p
