Scorpion

"What are the funny looking insects with giant claws and tail that look like scorpions?" That was my question to Pati when I woke up this morning. I had seen said creature in my room last night, crawling across my computer. Pati promptly freaked out and had half the school's staff tearing my room upside down looking for this thing. Apparently it is an actual scorpion, not just a look alike and in India (maybe everywhere?), they are very poisonous. I think I missed that part of 7th grade science. Whoops. We still haven't found it, but I am very amused at the commotion :)

    Uh, that sounds scaring.

    So let me get this straight... tiny little mice that are as harmless as can be and cockroaches that might only be mildly disgusting are a huge deal, but you are merely "amused" at the "commotion" caused by having a scorpion in your room, crawling across your computer? You, dear sister, are either far braver or far more insane than I had ever thought. Ever read John Steinbeck's "The Pearl"? Wikipedia it if not. I couldn't sleep for a week after reading it.
