Did you know that if you stab a man in the dead of winter, steam will rise from the wound?
Ancient peoples believed it to be the mans soul escaping from his body

I guess they didn't understand science yet, something like the earth revolving around the sun or the sun revolving around the earth debate.
But you asked if I ever killed anything. Yes, I did.
My son woke up one morning with a high fever and his hamster was sick as well. I had heard that hamsters sometimes spread meningitis, and I freaked out. The hamster was suffering, and my son's fever was spiking. I took the hamster outside, put him in a plastic bag and slammed him against a wall (I hope no children are reading this). It was awful. I felt terrible, but I also felt I needed to put the hamster out of its misery.
That is when I knew I couldn't kill anything again. I took my son to the hospital; it wasn't meningitis. He got well. I will never have a hamster in my house again, even though my 7 year old daughter has asked me for one.
So there is my confession. To PETA members, I really do love animals. I have rescued both cats and dogs. I also promise to never kill again.

I killed a spider last night and it was 7 degrees at the time...I didn't see any steam.
What do the ancient people say about that? I'm dying to know.

I've only intentionally killed bugs.
I unintentionally killed a dog when I was 17. It was raining real hard and he ran out in front of my car one night on the way home for work. I woke my Dad up and balled like a baby! I felt so bad. I still do. Poor doggy!

I killed a spider in the garage last week by stomping on it. I did not see its soul escaping even though it was a big enough one to be really messy.
It had put those disgusting cobwebs all over where I was walking there so it was kill-or-be-killed - I had no choice.

That is interesting.
Yes, there have been many superstitions.
It has nothing to do with the truth of God and
the Bible warns about believing in mere
superstition.
I have only killed bugs.
I ran over a frog and a squirrel with my car also, it was sad.

insects. strictly out of fear. yes, i feel bad about it.
mice when they've invaded my home, using mousetraps, poison etc. i hated it.
no, i didnot know about the ancient people's beliefs, but i have to believe their winter's were on the cold side. i doubt this would happen on a hot winter day.
geez. if it did, i think maybe it really is the soul.

We have all killed things. Every second we kill bacteria but I don't think steam rises from their bodies no matter what the temperature.

Mostly Just mosquitoes, I hate mosquitoes. Occasionally flies and ants. My own skin cells when I scratch. The bacteria on my body when I wash them. The bacteria in my mouth when I brush my teeth. Thats about it.
