*nods* Dead scorpion. Sting has been detached, but is visible. It only has one claw though. We're not sure if it was dead or alive when it entered the kitchen, and the flatmates are away this weekend so we have not been able to ask them. It's about... an inch, inch-and-a-half long, maybe, tail included...

Spaghetti on fire. That's... quite difficult, usually? I'm impressed! I think our smoke alarm is actually a heat alarm. It goes off if you open the oven for too long with the temperature up, but not for burning things. Except incense. It doesn't like incense.
