Many animal lovers find it hard to part with their pets when they die.

So when cat Orville, named after the famous aviator Orville Wright, was run over by a car, his artist owner decided to turn him into a permanent piece of artwork as the ultimate tribute by transforming him into a flying helicopter.

Dutch artist Bart Jansen first stuffed Orville before teaming up with radio control helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman to build a specially-designed flying mechanism to attach to the cat.

Sure, it's a bit creepy, but it's also one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Could you imagine flying that through a flock of birds, or hovering outside someone's window at night?

I usually spend my time in another vent, with Justin and some friends from online games over the years. My buddy Jon hosts it and has for years...you could always join us in there if you want also.

ALBION, IL (AP) - A southern Illinois man awakened to find a spider in his bed, and it's through a glass door naked he fled.

The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Albion police say the 20-year-old man was sleeping in the buff when he spotted the arachnid Tuesday morning and bolted from his home in the 2,000-resident town in Edwards County.

Sheriff Darby Boewe says the disoriented man apparently ran through a glass storm door during his escape, cutting his arms, legs and a finger. He was treated at a hospital.

Authorities fielded numerous reports of a bloody streaker and later found the man back at his home, where he'd donned some shorts.

It isn't clear what kind of spider he encountered.

The sheriff doesn't suspect drugs or alcohol were involved.

While I want to make fun of this...I 100% understand.

FACT: Spiders are made of pure dag-nasty evil.

Edit: First response to this. "He forgot to set the house on fire first"
