I used to believe that you could turn a spider into a butterfly. One of my friends had a lighter and I said to him "lets light the spider's ass on fire, it has a hard shell, maybe it can turn into a firefly and fly away". So my friend lit the spider's ass on fire, the poor thing's ass exploded.
After laughing hysterically, I never looked at a spider the same away again.
