those things are utterly terrifying...
Sorry to see that you feel this way. but hey, so are sharks, giant waves, wild apes, transatlantic plane trips, used car salesmen and South Korean appliance manuals.
I think they are terrifying, but really interesting animals, and even sort of elegant in their own way.

They are scary!!! *cowers behind computer at home* Keep them away from me! These things make sharks look CUTE...hahaha...
