I read somewhere that the average American swallows 14 spiders a year in their sleep. I have no idea how someone came this conclusion, but it’s a fun thing to tell the chick right before bed.

What began as a faint popping in a 9-year-old boy’s ear — “like Rice Krispies” — ended up as an earache, and the doctor’s diagnosis was that a pair of spiders made a home in the ear.

“They were walking on my eardrums,” Jesse Courtney said.(Watch how an earache led to the creepy discovery Video)

One of the spiders was still alive after the doctor flushed the fourth-grader’s left ear canal. His mother, Diane Courtney, said her son insisted he kept hearing a faint popping in his ear — “like Rice Krispies.”

This story makes my ears itch.
