I couldn't send skulls (and everything had skulls). I don't know if spiders are culturally insensitive, but "creepy" has cultural differentiation.

Too disillusioning? <BR/><BR/>Yes, I remember the Elvis Drive. We were on 196th, near what used to be Albertson's, and mom pulled the car over to let the news sink in. I think she cried.
