Soo.. Mom's car dies and I play helpful son and taxi and we pull up to a rent-a-car place... <BR> <BR>As the paperwork gets done and the car is prepared, I see an "Entertainment Weekly" magazine. I thumb through it, and see a familiar spidery image under the "Review" feature. <BR> <BR>The title blares out "Eight Legged Freaks" and the article continues -- giving the reader a brief rundown about the movie, as well as praising it for not being the typical horror flick trash of late. It ends by giving the movie an "A". <BR> <BR>Interestingly -- the magazine issue was dated January 2002. <BR> <BR>Mom sees me reading the review intensely and asks.. "That's that Dean Devlin movie isn't it?" <BR> <BR>-=JAG!

Had my own little 'Arac Attack' at church the other night. We have monthly service called, ironically, the Gathering. We have about 10 different churches joining us in praise and worship. So, when people go "down in the Spirit", we drape a cloth over them (the women anyway). <BR> <BR>Well, one of the Pastors is talking as we're about to give Communion, and what do I and a couple of other people see, a HUGE spider on the right side of the platform heading towards the cloths (which are in a basket). We're talking 3-4 inch long body, I don't even want to guess at it's leg spread. So, I run the video projector, which automatically makes me a servant of the church, plus, I'm the only guy who saw it :] (I'm also closest). So I get over there, trying not to be conspicuous (but considering how the platform is right at the head of the church, it's a little difficult). Well, this speeder is FAST!!! He jets off, I have to lift up the basket and inspect it to make sure he's not hiding (can you imagine what would happen?!), and I see him on one of the steps. The platform steps have a lip, so he sort of disappears. Luckily, I take a wild guess and kick out, Bam! Sliced it in half with my kick! I pull my foot back as the two seperate halves come flying out. (I know, awfully descriptive ain't I?>;Þ <BR> <BR>So I had a piece of paper towel at the projector station, which I get and clean up the halves as people have broken up into Communion lines and friendly chat groups (our church isn't rigid, so you can walk and pray and whatever whilst communion is going on, since it's the end of the service anyway). Fortunately, only 2 people actually saw the events, so no one was any the wiser (I'm sure if more people knew what happened, they'd be getting out of my way as I held that paper towel :]
