Man Released From Old Fear Factor Set After 13 Years Trapped in Spider Box

-
Connor Glib, who has spent the last thirteen years of his life trapped in a spider box on one of the original sets of Fear Factor, told reporters Thursday that he has no regrets.

 A contestant on the fifth season of the show, Glib says he was one of many people who were chosen to go into the spider box on that fateful afternoon in 2005. The difference, however, was that the producers made a last minute decision to cut Glib from the show.

 "He was a little intense," says Lauren Chang, key grip for Fear Factor between 2001 and 2006. "He wasn't really what we were looking for. And I guess we just all forgot about him. We had to shoot an outdoor scene later that day with, like, deer uteruses or skunk anuses or something. Obviously Joe was pretty excited about that. And we just left, I guess. It was our last day in that particular studio too."

 Though he has wasted a considerable portion of his life trapped in the fetal position in a plexiglass box filled with brown recluses, Glib doesn't seem overly put-out by the whole affair.

 "I was so stoked to get into that bad boy," Glib told reporters after his release. "All those creepy bastards crawling all over me, it was like I was really on the show."

 It wasn't until the abandoned warehouse in which Glib had been forgotten was scheduled for demolition that anybody tried to help him. 

 "I thought maybe he got himself killed geocaching or something," says Mike Porter, Glib's only acquaintance. "Nobody was looking for him, that's for sure."

 Glib survived his marathon stint in the box by eating dead spiders and drinking rain water that seeped through a hole in the warehouse roof.

 "Disgusting? Fuck no. I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

 Glib says that more than anything, he's honoured to be a part of Fear Factor's iconic history.

 "It's just so humbling to be a part of something bigger than myself. And meeting Joe Rogan, I mean, it doesn't get any better than that. Fear Factor is the greatest show ever made. Hands down."

 Unsurprisingly, Glib has a lot of questions about the present he has just awoken to.

 "Who's the president? Did we win the war on terrorism? How do I audition for the next season? Damn, I can't wait to check Myspace."

Poetry I t's something every parent fears. It's something you never thought would happen to your  kid. Sure, you've seen it in movies and on television. But in your own house? It's a scary thought.

Daniel's 5 Tips for Beating the Rainy Day Blues

While Spring is a beautiful time of the year, full of life and unique seasonal wonders, it can also be a depressing bitch. After days of gloomy, dark, and rainy weather, it’s hard not to slip into a melancholy slump of torpor and self hate. You may find yourself reaching for creature comforts such as junk food, television, or hard liquor. That’s okay once in a while, but I’m here to enlighten you with some suggestions for less self-destructive pastimes that will make those wet, dreary days more tolerable.  #1) Fun with household objects Remember those forts you used to build when you were a kid? Why not build one as an adult? Simply tip over all the furniture in your living room and drape the largest bed sheet you have over it all! You’ll need to secure the sheets to the floor somehow in order to make the ceiling for the fort. I suggest using kitchen knives as makeshift tent stakes. Start with one corner of the blanket. Secure it to the floor by stabbing the knife clean thr...

Daniel's Tips for Successful Backwoods Camping

Keeping to the warm weather theme, I've compiled a few tips and suggestions to encourage you to explore the great outdoors. Camping is a great way to experience all that nature has to offer. Fresh mountain air could be just what it takes to shake you from your winter slump. Let's get going, shall we? Campfires: Ahh the campfire. The almighty symbol of camping. There's nothing like the warm, flickering crackle of a fire to help you forget you're probably lost in the middle of nowhere. However, people often make mistakes that are pretty easy to correct, given you have the right information. One huge misconception is that you need to bring an axe or hatchet to chop wood for the fire. This is silly. Hatchets take up a lot of space and are quite heavy to lug around. The solution? Simply chop all your firewood and kindling in advance and pack it with you! And don't forget matches of course! Toilets: This is a big deal breaker for a lot of people. Unfortunately ther...
