You look like that guy who played an astronaut with Neil Armstrong. And the same guy who played in Mission to Mars 2.

Watch out, Roman. You're making the women in here ovulate with your unadultered manliness. Damn, I wish I were that hairy.
 
Dang, porcupines are born with their pricks? Ouch, I wonder if that hurts the mother. :bugeyed:

Varda? Mmm, sexy. :)

Spiders? WHERE the HECK do you people live with spiders (or whatever they are) that BIG!? The Congo? The Amazon? Yuck!

Close enough. :p

I don't mind spiders at all, or those pictured. I find them to be interesting. However, it'd feel kinda weird having them around me quite often in my own home. I guess growing up and having lived around them a lot, they're as normal as anything else would be to me.

Yeah they are alot of fun but now that I am done and have no girls I do wonder what that would have been like :confused: My oldest is developing my sense of humour and now guffaws and my subtlest jokes, I had to frikkin breed an appreciative audience :p. He also saw "Life of Brian" recently and loved it.
 
btw, just for trivia info, in mythology the frog is a metaphor of that which is not really a frog,
it can usually be two things (depending on the myth or folk tale):

1) the subject which sees the prince or princess as a frog is not yet mature enough for a romantic relationship, therefore (s)he sees the love advances of the other party as partially or fully disgusting.
A bit like small children say eeeeeeww about sex.
The magical kiss is when the subject has become mature and ready for a romantic relationship with the responsibility that comes with it.

2) the subject which sees the other person as a frog doesn't see the true beauty and virtues, (s)he might see the virtues as pervert or as evil or any other way disgusting.
here the case is not that the subject is not mature enough, it's about wisdom and understanding of the world.
in other similar stories the subject mainly sees the other party as an old and disgusting woman sometimes doing nasty things, sometimes demanding the subject to do lovely things with the old and disgusting "witch", for example a hug or a kiss.
the subject that is wise enough or feels the true nature of the being before him or has a "personality of gold" comes forward and acknowledges the thing which others see as disgusting but (s)he doesn't.
Then is the moment of great transformation and beauty when the true nature and personality of the existence (at various scales) shines and the hero symbolically marries, becomes one with the mythical realisation.

Frogs in most tales are the key subjects of the 1st category of symbology and metaphor.
