How about monkeys with fingernails that glow green?
And as for short-lived pets-- one word: spiders. I'm obsessed with catching spiders whenever I see them. I've kept about five so far. Two last year: Anna, who ran away, and Mr. Morden, who died after I apparently fed him a poisonous worm.
Then earlier this month I caught two spiders in a row and my dad caught a third. The first two I caught (Aragog and Shelob) are now dead. The third (Ari Ben Zayn) is still alive, but not likely for long because I have nothing to feed it with.
And if you that's weird, consider this: after my spiders die, I don't throw them away. I pickle them. In alcohol.
Yes, I have jars of dead pickled spiders sitting around in my room.
Scared of me now? ::devil smiley::[/color
