I’m so glad that I’m not the only one terrified of these. I had one camped out in my house for three days and it made me a nervous wreck before I paid my sister to get rid of it. The eyes do indeed stare into your soul.

I am so terrified of these buggers! My boyfriend and his best friend found one inside of a shopping center we were at and started playing with it. They took it outside but let me look ti the little guy through the glass doors.

Not so much cute as really quite beautiful. Wow.

Hehe, “Zorak.” I love me some Space Ghost.

ashagato, I had heard the same thing since I was a child, which was a pretty long time ago. I’m curious enough to look into it…
