Just made two additions to the Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies article -- a response from Hostess on the current whereabouts of the snacks, and a scan sent in from a reader showing the final version of the wrapper. It's the one up above. Only in the article, it's like an inch bigger. Worth a click?
While I'm here, let's start anudder poll. Which animal inspires the most fear inside you? Could be a bug, shark, wacky bird, whatever. No fake answers -- keep the "my hamster I SWEAR HE'S POSSESSESSSSD" responses to a mininum, or I'll give you a reason to be scared.
Hate to be typical, but I'm gonna have to stick with any hairy spider. I've spent enough time looking at the things to desensitive the fear (I don't get all icked out just by watching them), but one catches my eye completely by surprise and it's close to me, I spend six seconds as a short white Harlem Globetrotter. That's a pretty terrible way to get a "jumping" point across. Anyway, hairy spider. This was my main problem with Arachnophobia. Save for the Master Queen Spider, they were all relatively non-creepy. No hair, no nothing. Just a buncha legs. Wasn't scary enough. Actually, my real main problem was that little theme they played whenever John Goodman's exterminator character walked onscreen. It just bugged me. Get it? Bugged?
Those giant, elephant-eating centipedes would be a close second.
Name your animal fears. Bonus points if fear is based on a personal experience where you felt pain.

There really aren’t any animals that scare me,but when I was younger a blue jay attacked me by hitting me in the head,becuase she thought I was going to do something with its nest,which was on the roof of my house. After it attacked my dad and brother,my dad finally did something and got rid of its nest,so it would leave. For some time after that,I was scared of those things,running into the house if I ever saw one.
