I hated watching Star Trek II all because of those Ceti Alpha sandworms.Just this past year or two GG and I were visiting his brother out in Colorado. I woke up one morning to hear an odd little scratching type noise (it's hard to explain what it sounded like). It just wouldn't go away so I got out a Q-tip, stuck it in my ear (yes, I know it explicitly says on the box to not do that), and brought out a little spider and some web. Bleh. And yes, I do clean out my ears every day. :P I just happen to attract spiders to me constantly.

Anyway, I absolutely hated that scene in Star Trek II with the worms, especially growing up because we had a tree out back that little critters looking remarkably similar to the worm in the movie loved to flock to periodically. It was horrible not being able to play around that tree because of the fear of having one of them burrow into my ear and eat out my brain. Bleh. Hated those things. I was always glad when the cicadas showed up because that meant the little brain-eaters would leave soon and I could have back my tree.
