Ok is my place haunted or what?

I wake up from sleeping (alone mind you) and I'm seeing scars on my hand like someone's been takin a razor blade at it.

WTF!?!!?

1, 2
Freddy's Coming for You
3, 4
Better Shut the Door...



Now I'm gonna go hide!

:O

I have heard of that, actually. I don't remember what it is called...

I'm always finding scars and bruises when I wake up! I wonder if my wife is putting sedatives in my dinner and then using me for a punching bag...

Do you have a cat?

Eerie... kinda like stigmata...

I've woken up with bruises on my thighs... no scratches though...

lol.. one would hope not!

I once woke up with a huge scratch on my cheek, and it was bleeding... not the most delightful thing to wake up to!

AzureStar said:

No cat, no pets, no creepy crawlers in site.

Sheeit I hope it's not some stigmata type isht... which one of the ORG ladies would like to come watch me sleep to make sure?

It must be the spiders that crawl all over us at night!

:O

LaV... have you seen the movie Eight Legged Freaks? I watched that the other night... *shudder*... that picture reminded me of the horror of that movie. A very stupid movie, but... *shudder*... I don't like spiders.

I read somewhere that we swallow at least 5 spiders a week while we sleep... anyone else hear this?

I have a customer who found a red, inflamed area on her forehead...she woke up with it one day. (true story)...went to the doctor, and he said it was a spider's bite! :O

It got bigger, deeper, and scarred her! :O

I'm glad I don't know what crawls over me at night, if anything...

AzureStar said:

Might be interesting to put up a camera facing the bed, eh?

AzureStar said:

No, I haven't, but spiders are at the top of my *shudder* list.

AzureStar said:

So now you're telling me that not only do I have tied myself down but tape up my mouth too?

Whadahell?

LaVisHh said:

NO! I don't want to watch spiders crawling in my mouth! Are you insane?

NuPwrSoul said:

LMAO!!!

Nah, just put a net around your entire head (fishing nets are great because they form fit) and tape around your neck.

NuPwrSoul said:

Yep... I'm very serious. I will try to look it up on the internet. I read about it somewhere a few years ago... they crawl on us while we sleep and some like to go into our mouth, our natural reflex is to swallow.

LaVisHh said:

And then take a picture of this and post it on the org for us to see!

NuPwrSoul is scratching his head wondering why HE started this...

"It is estimated that in our lifetime we (all humans) will swallow 5 spiders in the middle of the night while we sleep."

http://www.greenspun.com/..._id=003Bzv

(okay... so maybe five in our lifetime...)

but then this says:

"I have heard from numerous sources (many of them seemingly credible) that the average human consumes an average of four spiders per year in his or her sleep. Is there any truth to this fact? And if so, why would the spiders go in our mouths? "

"For a spider to get into your mouth while you're sleeping, (a) you must have your mouth OPEN, which is certainly not universal, so there's a big chunk of people who can never swallow anything; (b) there has to be a wandering spider in your immediate vicinity, also something which--for most people in the civilized world, at least--is a fairly rare occurrence; (c) the spider has to either jump or fall into your mouth from a long distance, because they won't go near your mouth otherwise (they're not suicidal), and the odds are pretty astronomical of a spider randomly dropping into your mouth from the ceiling."

So... who knows. I am going with the last one and saying we don't swallow any!

AzureStar said:

PHEW! I sleep with my mouth closed 100% of the time, so we can forego the fishnet helmet taped around my face.

Now back to the scars, who wants to come tie me down to the bed before I sleep?

JUMP OR FALL INTO?

NuPwrSoul said:

Did you Ever see that Movie with Patricia Arquette Stigmata? What a Weird Flick!

Stigmata is one of my favorite movies. Patricia is my favorite actress.

Were you "Taken" during the night?
