"Augh!! Don't eat the baby!!"

I caught a brief glimpse at CSI:NY a couple of nights ago.... I was grossed out by it- but it wasn't more than that...until I woke up and found a centipede in one of my daughter's toy this morning....

Ok- most of you can't make the connection, so I'll fill you in... CSI:NY was about a chef who specialized on cooking with bugs... deep fried tarantulas, and meal worm salads... stuff like that... It was considered to be a delicacy.... In the show, a man seduces a woman and part of their date was sharing these foods while she is blindfolded... He feeds her a live octopus and the ink is poisonous and it kills her. Yes, this was intentional... and so before he could make his escape, a milipede gets away from him and goes directly for the woman's ear... at this point it eats through her brain and lays it's eggs...

Now can you understand the fear that registered when I saw this little centipede in my daughter's toy... and I have to admit that I shamelessly took the insect and dumped into the toilet... and my daughter flushed it to insect heaven... "Oh, insects of the earth please forigve me... While I did it with the intention to harm and hopefully kill your fellow bug... I did it with the intention of protecting my daughter's brain. Amen."
