A male scared of spiders? Dude, the things you get here grow to a maximum diameter of a two pence piece. You can squish them with your thumb. Watch it suffer. Or alternatively, leave it, and it will eat the flies. My main phobia when I was younger was of big bird (from 'Sesame Street'). Bloody shat it. Went to see 'Sesame Street The Musical' when I was 3 (okay, 7) and left more than one stain on the chair. Also had nighmares after watching Tim Burton's 'The NIghtmare Before Christmas' (On December 24th too). I've got over that now.
