Title: Bugs reloaded
Post by: odin on November 09, 2004, 03:43:13 PM
Yay! No bedbugs! Turns out it is the carpetbeetle (http://www.pestworld.org/homeowners/spotlight/varied_carpet_beetle.asp) (warning: turn off image loading if you're squemish like me!).  Although I do have carpet  I don't think they're eating it (my carpet looks like it's the really cheap plastic variety), I do have one woollen sweater though, that might be their breeding place (too chicken to look at it really.....).

Well, at least I can safely go to bed again :-D.

Did you know bugs are a rich source of proteines? :-)

Have you thought about doing something about getting over your phobia.

I'd rather get rid of the bugs ;-)

I turned my room into a chemical wasteland, I'd like to see those bugs try to survive my insecticide barrage :evilgrin:.

@speel:
Y'r welcome to come feast on them :crazy:.

Greetings,

Sounds like you had a good night sleep? :-) Glad to know your wasteland... *er.. bedroom is bugger-free. :lol:

@speel
I've watched over on cable once, some guy would pay you $50 to eat them. :-? I hate watching those gross reality TV shows. They *bug me! :lol:

Regards,

Gizz

What did carpet beetles eat before there were carpets?

Corpses, silk, my blue woolen sweater any substance of animal origin really.

Well, in my utter hygienic and complete sterile environment, I don't have yet my body resistance system adapted to bacteria/virus rich food. If I would go to an African country, where they have their flesh uncovered on the marketplaces, a civilized civilian from the west would get a tad sick after eating such.
I still want to try the Thai grasshopper :-)
've already eaten the Chinese seaweed delicatesse (and that DID taste good, honestly!)
also, I still want to try the French escargots.
But octopus isn't worth trying, it tastes like rubber band (if I have to believe myself when I was a kid)
And I'm still in doubt of the goat eye
Also, the Masai milk-with-blood-straight-from-the-artery-of-a-cow doesn't seem to me very appealing.

Apart from these shows being utterly boring
it really shows that the tv-makers are out of imagination, since they can only come up with a "dares ya" concept

I know what you mean, it almost makes you want a McDonalds instead. :-o

Then again, they`ll probably be doing a "McMasai McMilk-with-blood-straight-from-the-artery-of-a-McCow" soon.
