Most of you would never have thought that documentaries could be scary. In fact, it seems to bore most people to sleep. I regularly watch documentaries and my siblings always complain that it is boring. I enjoy watching them because they satisfy my curious nature and I learn a lot of things from them. I even know how to make explosives but only harmless ones. I think the broadcast station doesn't want to be blamed for nurturing terrorists. But not all of them are interesting such as the documentary about the world war. And the one I saw last week was really scary.

I think the title of the documentary was: "The Most Extreme: Top 10 Vampires". As the name suggested, the documentary is about nature's top 10 most amazing Vampires. The documentary had a very interesting start; it was about bloodsucking butterflies and Vampire bats. Has this startled you too? I am not bluffing. They do exist. I can't remember the name of the bloodsucking butterfly but I did a web search, unfortunately I could not find anything related to it. The only result Google gave was about a Vampire Moth named: calyptra thalictriis. It looked different from the bloodsucking butterfly I saw in the documentary and their facts are very different too. For example, the bloodsucking butterfly only suck the blood of carcases whereas the vampire moth sucks blood of living victims including Humans. There is even a youtube video of it. All you need to do is just Google for "bloodsucking butterfly" and the video will appear as the first result of the list.
Next, its the Vampire Bat. They really exist but they are not like Dracula in the movies. Yes, they do drink blood but instead of sucking it out of the victims, they lick it of the victims but they had to pierce into the victim's flesh first using its very sharp incisors. I am not sure if they drink human bloods but I know that they usually feed on animals including livestocks. And in one of the footage in the documentary was the Vampire Bat licking blood from a chicken's backside. (Eeeee...disgusting). So have I interested you into watching the documentary? By now you would be thinking that it is nothing compared to the horror movies, right? And that you have seen even scarier movies? Well you are not wrong. But don't jump to conclusions so quickly.
A vampire bat:

The last 5 creepy crawlies are the scariest of them all. They include: Ticks, bed bugs, assassin bugs and leeches. (I can't remember the one other insect that was in it) Did you know that they use leeches to treat some health problems? Apparently they were used to remove excess blood from swelled up tissues after surgeries so that the wound would heal quicker and to prevent poisoning the tissue due to the accumulation of toxic substances. Watching them suck blood out of the patient's arm is so irritating that I felt as if my arms were being bitten by the leech. Still doesn't scare you? well how about the assassin bugs and bed bugs? They are creepy because they hide in your bedroom, near your bed or even on your bed and suck your blood when you are asleep and the bed bug can drink many times its body size. Creepy isn't it. The worse things about them is that they can hide and survive for a long time without blood before finally crawling out, taunted out by the very inviting smell of carbon dioxide from our breath. Up until then, I thought that bed bugs were just ordinary bugs but the fact that they suck blood send chills down my spine.

leeches: an assassin bug:

The most scary of all was the tick. They can suck an unbelievably large amount of blood and are very hard to be rid off. If I am not mistaken, they can swell up to 18 times their original size. When they are full, they are almost as big as a ten cent coin but many times fatter than the coin. One of the scenes in the documentary showed the tick sucking blood from a person until it becomes very very large and finally fall off. And in another scene, the tick was shown to form colonies on the ears of animals such as Lions. It looked a lot like earrings except that they are ticks and there seems to be about 20 of them hanging on each of the lion's ear. According to the documentary, the ticks even secrete a cement like substance that bonds them to the host very tightly and this cement is only dissolved by the tick after it has filled itself up. Even scarier is that the ticks can survive almost everywhere and can multiply extremely quickly. To intensify the fear is that the documentary was shown at night, just before I went to bed and I was alone, watching it.

Ticks:

I had a hard time falling asleep after watching that documentary. I still get goosebumps as I type this post and the hairs on my back of my neck is standing. Now do you still want to watch this documentary? It is scary to me because they are real things that could happen to anyone. Movies are mostly fiction and knowing that makes it less scary.

This is a funny email I got from one of my friends. Tell me what you think of it.

Wow! In those days,... Adidas? Hmmm.... branded Pirate! this is just a joke, no part of this is an insult to anyone.

So does it mean anything to you? I am still working on solving the accounts and I found out a lot of the mistakes was due to other workers in the company. After informing my employer, he told me to warn them that their salary will be on hold until the mess has been cleared and that any losses will be deducted from their salaries. And just as instructed, I phoned each and every one of them, telling them that but all of them have no response. It seems to have no effect on them and they still continue to make the same mistakes until now. Some of them even sounded sleepy when I told them that.

How about you? Have you been threathened by your employer? How did you respond to those threats? Work harder? Or simply ignore it since it doesn't mean anything?


Speaking of salary, I just received mine today. Yahoo!! But wait....after deducting food, petrol and some miselaneous expenses, I am left with about $100 to spend.  :'(
Sigh....Hard to earn but easy to go......
