LOL, ha, no!

I am a small female person and don't look anything like those guys.
Also, I never drove a truck that was both bifurcated and engulfed in flames.

Most horrifying driving story I've ever heard...

I once read a news article about a family of five who crashed and the van in which they were driving caught fire and no one survived. A couple of teens dropped a chunk of concrete or a cinder block off of an overpass onto the windshield of the van. The driver, Dad, lost control of the vehicle and, well...

Yeah... I had a bee fly into my helmet once on a motorcycle, and I pretty much thought that sucked. I feel like a giant baby now LOL

Those tarantula hawk wasps are big and nasty. They get active around west Texas in the fall, when the male tarantulas go looking for mates. A guy I know tried to grab one of those wasps once and found out they can sting right through leather work gloves.

We've got the tarantula wasps here in San Diego...have seen them, but thankfully, never had the pleasure of being stung or have known anyone that has been stung. As for the tarantula...my son had one growing up..probably the cleanest pet we've ever had! She was pretty cool to watch feed and molt.
