I'll try to find the story.

And with that, you all have a nice day. I have to get back to work.

Is this like that Agatha Christie didn't start walking till she was 152.. story.. or sumtin?

No... I'm still using Agatha, just not in a room full of geeks who will actually look it up. I guess I can always make her blind and cota. How do you say cota in English?

This story is true. I have proof...

I would rather find a venomous snake in my fridge than have two spiders living in my ear.

Shuddit you furry bikini wearing monkey!

If I remember correctly that creepy crawly wanted to kill me! He was on a mission to eliminate me b/c I threatened his very life and the home of the rest of the creepy crawlys b/c of my extreme attention to cleanliness.

ALBANY, Oregon (AP) -- These guys were not exactly Snap, Crackle and Pop.

What began as a faint popping in a 9-year-old boy's ear -- "like Rice Krispies" -- ended up as an earache, and the doctor's diagnosis was that a pair of spiders made a home in the ear.

"They were walking on my eardrums," Jesse Courtney said.(Watch how an earache led to the creepy discovery)

One of the spiders was still alive after the doctor flushed the fourth-grader's left ear canal.

His mother, Diane Courtney, said her son insisted he kept hearing a faint popping in his ear -- "like Rice Krispies."

Dr. David Irvine said it looked like the boy had something in his ear when he examined him.

When he irrigated the ear, the first spider came out, dead. The other spider took a second dousing before it emerged, still alive. Both were about the size of a pencil eraser.

Jesse was given the spiders -- now both dead -- as a souvenir. He has taken them to school and his mother has taken them to work.
