I was on a tour of Ayers Rock in Australia and there was a Titan stick insect in our food tent. It was actually really cool. Kind of just sat there and pretended to be a stick. I ended up picking it up to take it outside so it wouldn't get squished, and I felt like a total bad-ass. It was about as long as my forearm. Unfortunately, it decided to climb onto my back where I couldn't see it and towards my neck. Then I freaked the fuck out and someone had to come take it off of me.

I'm usually okay with bugs, but I don't like them near my neck or face. I made a fool of myself, but at least was the coolest person there for a few seconds.
