Fear Factor

So the other day, we were all sitting around the lunch table as usual when I felt a slight 'pinch'. I look down it was this lame pincher bug. I decided not to kill it but to drench it in tabasico to see what would happen.

Umm. Nothing happened. At first we thought it died and then it started moving really, really fast. Naturally we threw more hot sauce on him but nothing.

Finally he slowed down and seemed like he was dead....that is when the topic came up. How much would it take for you to eat him? Sascha answered 5 million dollars. Oscar answered 500 hundred dollar. Of course that was too much money, so I said 50 dollars.

Uh-oh. That was below the price point. Before I knew it there was $60 dollars on the table to eat this:

Hmm. Tough one. Usually I would eat it. I was unsure if the pinchers had any poison so I turned the money down. I looked it up on the internet and I should have totally eaten it. They are harmless plant bugs!

Obviously, fear IS a factor for me.
