I remember being brought to watch it as a 'treat' when I was five or six. It was shown in the local library for the kiddies, and the three of us that turned up were brought into a room and left to watch it. No movie has ever traumatised me more. And I'm including being forced to watch Aliens when I was 8 and Christine when I was 4 (gotta love older brothers)

I can't bring myself to either watch the movie or read the book now I'm a so-called adult! I wish I could...

Miss Cellania - I know and I understand you - I publish scientific and medical journals and deal with papers from their submission right through to being published - I don't underestimate a thing :)...and that post went down so well with my colleagues - thank you :)

ooooooh, you have no idea how accurate that is...no idea...no idea at all...

I have to agree with mlaird. I was disapointed with the Squirrel underwear. The Mental Floss mag is getting a read, but the underwear went straight to a friend who just took them for their 'strangeness' value. I don't know if I'll be doing it again, esp as I considered it my birthday present to myself. I'm sure others got great stuff though and are really enjoying their things.
