Daddy long legs are really annoying, because they are so hard to see in the carpet...

I was taught not to be afraid of them or kill them because they were supposed to be "good" spiders because they are not aggresive to humans or poisonus, and besides they trap mosquitos and bugs. Know I dont know what to believe but anyway I have never touched them and never will. Definetely not gonna eat one ever.

well daddy long legs are type of aracnid species, but yeah they are very poisionous but due to them being so small it wouldn't do anything to you. but yeah i think i did see that same episode of mythbusters about them.

They don't have enough poison to kill you, and their fangs aren't long enough to do so... Mythbusters has tested, and busted this myth! Adam Savage, one of the hosts, volunteered to get bitten, (it took a long time before a spider decided to bite him) and it was nothing! You should watch Mythbusters often, you know... It's on at Discovery Channel, (see your timeslot! happy.gif) For more info about that particular episode... See here... And I quote from the site...

QUOTE
DADDY LONGLEGS--THE DEADLIEST SPIDER ALIVE?

Myth: Jamie explains that Daddy Longleg spiders are supposed to be the most venomous of all spiders, but their fangs are not long enough to pierce through human skin.

Experts: Chuck Kristensen, arachnid expert. Chuck tells Adam and Jamie alot about spiders. Chuck recalled an experiment in which Daddy Longleg and Black Widow venom was injected in mice. (Results later...) Chuck also milked a spider. The spider is anesthetized with CO2 (carbon dioxide). An electrical shock is then applied to the fang to extract the venom.

Quotes: Jamie: "I like spiders!" Adam is speechless as he is an arachnophobe...

Action/Results: First, the guys go to Jamie's garage to "harvest" spiders. Jamie is quite the spider hunter, but Adam is having some difficulties... Next, they visit spider expert Chuck for assistance with the rest of the experiment. During the milking, Chuck measures the Daddy Longleg fangs: about .25 mm. Skin thickness is about .10 mm. Also during the milking, Chuck reveals the Daddy Longleg/Black Widow results: Black Widow venom is much more toxic. To finish the experiment, Adam puts his right arm in a spider-filled tube in order to receive a Daddy Longleg bite. After a long time, one Daddy Longleg does manage to bite Adam, and rather painlessly. Additionally, Adam lives! Result: Myth totally busted.

  3. The Scarlet Letter: My View
    Warning! Long Essay with spoilers (0)
    The Scarlet Letter is most definitely a novel to remember. This novel brings so much to the table,
    there is a little bit of mystery, deceit, evil, and so much more. The Scarlet Letter is full of
    symbols, themes and motifs. To fully comprehend the novel, an individual must read it more than
    once. Nathaniel Hawthorne uses very vivid imagery, yet the story unfolds quite slowly. One should
    have much patience while reading this classic, though in the end one will get rewarded. The Scarlet
    Letter has feeling, strength and love. What more can one ask for? There are no action sc....

    Warning, Long Read and Essay (4)
    F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is much like an onion. On the surface there is the hard outer
    layer, but to really understand it, one has to dig into the fresh insides. On the surface of The
    Great Gatsby Fitzgerald portrays a romantic love between a man and a woman, but inside the real
    meaning is much deeper. Fitzgerald depicts the 1920’s as a time of decay social and moral values,
    evidence of this is the greed and the pursuit of pleasure. Jay Gatsby’s constant parties epitomized
    the corruption of the American Dream as the desire for money and worldly pleasures ov....

    adversary to these soldiers; furthermore he depicts the killing of enemy soldiers as a game for the
    Germans. Throughout the duration of the book, Paul Baumer, the main character, is portrayed as a
    once innocent adult that becomes emotionally desensitized by the war. The goal of All Quiet on the
    Western Front is to show how unromantic war truly is. War novels are known for emphasizin....
