# My neighbour
had some of these little buggers, they're actually pretty quick when you want to catch them.

Well, if you're a kid that is. And you're not really trying. And you're half watching something on the telly and wondering if your Dad's going to look under your bed and find that porn mag.
But still, they're pretty quick.

But he was found.

Thing is, it probably took people about 2 weeks to notice that he was dead..

Like the House of Lords. Non-movement is hardly a reliable symptom.
