Attack of the Evil Foam Beads

[Spooky Music Plays] The girl is sitting on her bed, quietly reading, then gets up to get something from her closet [spooky music gets louder]. You, because of the spooky music playing, want to yell out "NOOOOOO! Don't reach down!" but you're too late: she pulls back her hand to find it covered in tiny white spots about a millimeter wide. Frowning, she tries to brush them off, but they now stick to both hands. Gasping, she steps back as the room is enveloped in a flurry of tiny white whatever-they-ares, covering bed, floor, desk, and clothes. She tries to scream, only they fall down here throat, choking her. . .

K, so maybe it wasn't quite that dramatic, but certain facts about this new microscopic life form are true.
1. They came out of my computer lap-desk pillow thing.
2. They have very powerful and subtle attaching properties.
3. They multiply rapidly (at least, they spill rapidly), and survive by attaching themselves to anything within site.

Right now, two days later, there are still at least a hundred around my desk, not to mention the stragglers on my bed, floor, coat, shirt, backpack, etc. They would actually make very good spy cameras or bombs. . .
My roommate suggested that we empty the rest of the pillow (this was only about 1/100 of it) on somebody: a new tar-n-feathering. [Wicked Grin] Or put them over someone's door, have them dump everywhere like confetti, only wicked-sticks-around-so-you-can-never-get-rid-of-it-tiny-white-dots-confetti. I suggested calling someone in and saying. "Help! there are all these bug eggs, and I don't know what to do. aaahhh! one's hatching!"

Ooh, fact number 4: They have ability to fill human minds with devious tricks.

I hate stuff like that! It's mostly the lingering thought in your mind that it could be some sort of bug/egg or who knows what else.

Well I hope the evil foam beads leave you in peace :D
