I too smiled the whole time. Sooo much fun.

However..... I wish they wouldn't pretend that they didn't rehearse it or at least agree beforehand that that was the song they were going to sing. Why not just say that, instead of the falseness? Tinged my joy with the creepy-crawlies of being sold-to. Don't like that.

And it was FABULOUS.

It was both those things.

My mother is a biology teacher and all my life she's shown me how fascinating the natural world is. It's become a real interest for me and shapes the way I live my life. When I got married my wife and I went to kenya on safari and saw some of the most beautiful and incredible wildlife. I remembered seeing lions and elephants in the zoo with my mother telling me all about them, to see them for real in the wild was mind blowing. I vividly remember how much my mother would love to see Africa. She could make the creepy crawlies under a rotting log fascinating, I just thought how wonderful lions, leopards and so on would be for her.

She's worked hard all her life and provided very well for my brother and I, we had a great upbringing and great opportunities but they never left enough for themselves. So last year my wife and I took her to Zambia. Highlight of the trip was tracking a lioness on foot and getting to within about fifty yards of it. Being able to share the experience with her was awesome. We're lucky enough to be able to afford it and it's the best money I've ever, ever spent.

If you can, you really should spoil your mother. They deserve it

Thanks for giving me the creepy crawlies =o/

I'm not interested in creepy crawly ... what else ya got? =o)


Aww, I am not creepy crawly! Um, that's it. I used to have cra(y/w)fish, fish, hermit crabs, tadpole -> frog, etc. as a kid/child/callow ant.

creepy crawlies that are temporarily showing themselves OR the creepy crawlies those guys eat everyday while normally hiding? I'll take the spiders thanks. If there are that many of these guys hiding around imagine how much extra buggage you'd have to deal with without em. THAT gives me *shivers*.

I have never been so horrified and so fascinated at the same time

*quality amateur nature footage (even though it was a setup scenario) *feels creepy crawlies*

I think you MAY be thinking of the mayfly, Retro. Me so punny.

At first glance I was inclined to agree with xxovercastxx, considering the positioning of the wings (something to consider though, they do not always have the appearance of being near-perfectly parallel to the body, sometimes sticking out at acute angles away from the point of attachment/thorax, which sorta looks like the one in the vid and may be easy to confuse with the dragon fly's wing arrangement when viewed from certain angles), BUT there are a couple of very un-dragonfly-like features here as well.

Most species of dragon flies have their compound eyes touching/fused at the top of the head, looking like one cohesive structure, while mayflies' eyes are placed more on the sides of the head and protrude outwards more, with a noticeable gap of forehead space in between them. Also, the base of the bottom pair of wings seems too skinny to be a dragon fly, where usually the bottom wings remain much broader for much longer, compared to the top pair as you get closer to thorax before finally tapering down to the connection point, though there may be exceptions in morphology from species to species.

I'm no entomologist though, just someone who enjoys watching these buggers go about their business (they're surprisingly tolerant of people and seem quite intelligent for insects, I'd say jumping spiders, Phidippus Audax specifically, are the only creepy crawlies around here that appear to be any smarter, more charming, gregarious than dragon/damsel flies).

I'm too torn either way to definitively call it. I did enjoy speculating about it quite needlessly though. Yay insomnia and Videosift!!

I'm late to the party! I called it Arthropodology because I thought we should have a channel for insects, spiders, crustaceans and anything that matches the description. But is was more tooled towards arachnids, and insects.

Sure we can call it bugs, or creepy-crawlies, whatever. I was just taking a stab in the dark.

On second thought, maybe bugs is ok. I thought it was two broad, when I was reading the channel name instructions.

Just showing the spiders who the real old skool creepy crawlies are.

Some keywords are:
Welfare state
Free healthcare for everybody.
Progressive texes, that is, the more you earn the higher percentage you pay. As a studnent I pay about 38 %, but it can go as high as 60-70 %.
Cartoons of muhammed runs rampant.
Beer is national drink, and plenty of it.
"Free" education, college, university and so on are all paid through taxes.
Crappy weather.
Multiparty political system.
No real hurricanes, tornados, volcanoes, earthquakes or really any dangerous weather phenomenon.
No huge creepy-crawlies, which I'll admit turns most Danes into pussies about such things.
Pretty expensive Internet connections, but a lot of it. Almost completely covered by broadband (256 KB/s+).

Duh. It's a creepy crawly on the camera lens!

Do you have a clip of it?

In reply to your comment:
“Hey ant, that reminds of a fun idea, seen it in a Chinese action flick..Kids were spelling words with honey, and the ants would cover them, making a crawly word...Just say Yo!”

So, what I've been able to dig up is that two types of worms can exist in pork, the trichinosis one and the pork tapeworm. Some people end up with pork tapeworms inside of them and you'd do yourself a grossness (you know, if you want) if you type pork tapeworm into google image search. Clearly they exist and are involved with pork.

However, two things showed up with what I've read:
The eggs/larvae (not full sized worms) are what give you the wormy problems with undercooked pork, and it's rare (although that's hard to say 'cause all the hard facts I found come from the pork industry, clearly an unbiased source).
Second, if you were to buy fresh pork from an unclean butcher type place, you could indeed have maggots (from flies in the place), or if the pig was just killed, worms could still be in the flesh (more common when you're buying a "pig" rather than a porkchop at the grocer's).

Last point, there's enough of an issue to this that the pork industry talks about it, but Salmonella apprently is their number one illness problem, go figure.

All this said, I have NO IDEA if Coke would really make any of these creepy crawlies come out, if they were even there. Maybe we should do a sift-wide test to determine the accuracy of the claim and (possibly) the relative cleanness of our local grocers.
