As discussed with 1_eye the other day...the daddy long legs is actually one of the most poisonous spiders on earth.

That's true, but luckily for us its fangs are too short to inject its venom into humans.

We discuss some odd things, 1_eye and I...

Such as:

The most pushups ever performed in a day was 46,001.

Native Americans do not have to pay tax on their land.

In 1980, a Las Vegas hospital suspended workers for betting on when patients would die.

Fifteen people are known to have been killed by leaning vending machines over in the hope of a free can of pop.

Ketchup was sold in the 1830's as medecine.

The inventor of the Waffle Iron did not like waffles.

Harrison Ford has a species of spider named after him.

The best recorded distance for projectile vomiting is 27 feet.

You can start a fire with ice.

Real diamonds can be made from peanut butter.

Sandra Bullock is allegic to horses.

Now this has made me PMSL

Me too LMAO!

Squeezy u are aware that most of the views on this thread will be from me and Paula arnt u

Martin, im afraid that fact is somewhat flawed. You say the Daddy Long-Legs or Pholcus phalangioides is unable to puncture human skin. In truth it has fangs roughly .25 of a millimetre thick, where human skin is 0.10mm. the venom they produce is called pholcid venom and it very toxic, but unfortunately almost completely harmless to humans. (in such a small dose) the worst that would happen would be a slight burning sensation. true if you milked 1000 daddy long legs and drank the venom you'd probably die.

Another rational thought, is it not possible a daddy long legs could bite you on a sore or infected area, thus putting the poison straight into the blood stream. People would be dropping off all over the place!


(i love Mythbusters)

SQUEEZY SQUEEZY Do us a poem!

lol its the daddy long legs debate on here

I hate them though they come in my room and im like come on then you little tramp and when they fly towards me with there 50cm legs i cry like a little girl

Milking daddy-long-legs? Now there's an idea....

By way k3v - I think (and if I'm wrong I know a man who will correct me) that the daddy-long-legs spider that's venomous isn't the same thing as the thing with wings that gets called daddy-long-legs too. I think those are crane-flies.

oh right i can sleep easy tonight then
