All spiders are poisonous in some form or another. Most are harmless to humans. Take into consideration though that even the most harmless spiders and poisons can be hazardous to some people. It depends on the person and their make up. It is very possible that a person could be allergic to a poison that is harmless to most people. Plus if you are exposed enough to something that you are mildly allergic to the allergy can become worse. Daddy Long Legs are also known as Harvestmen so if you are looking them up you can look them up under that name too. Insects are an interesting group of Arthropods. Its probably the largest and most diverse group of animals in existance.
waoah, was really surprised when I read this thread. There are quite a few of these spiders around this location, obviously not in my house but around the park, football stadium etc there are plenty of cobwebs attracting daddy longlegs.
I'm another person who'd never want to eat one of these spiders, but thanks for sharing nevertheless. It's always interesting to know something that some others don't.
I just kill spiders or destroy the cob webs if they annoy me anyway just like my friends and family
i saw that episode of mythbusters too and they proved that tehre was no possible way that the daddy long legs could have poisined the perosn and the fangs are more than long enough to pierce the skin
Hey, is a daddy longlegs the same as... what is it called... a crane fly? I was told they are, but not so sure. Can someone look it up for me, or post a reply, cause i have to go now
here's what I got from google, (I have to reserach for this is actually the first I heard of this kind of spider lol)

Have you heard this one?: DADDY-LONGLEGS ARE ONE OF THE MOST POISONOUS SPIDERS BUT THEIR FANGS ARE TOO SHORT TO BITE HUMANS
This tale has been lurking around for years. I have heard it repeatedly in the United States and even heard a schoolteacher misinforming her class at a museum in Brisbane, Australia. This is incorrect, but to clarify it, several points need to be explained first. The animals
Poisonous or nay, Daddy Long Legs are just plain freaky.
They only live for a day, though, so I let them be. And then later that day, watch them whizz furiously around the lightshade just before they croak. Heh
Where I grew up in western Canada, the Daddy Long Legs is a spider that doesn't spin a web, at least not that I'd ever seen. They just run along the ground..or up the wall, as the case may be. Imagine my suprise after moving to Illinois to find the Daddy Long Legs' here using webs all the time. I once watched one actually capture another and wrap it's legs up in a web strand.
Wow! lol I thought daddy long legs were harmless little insects and cool because of their size when I was little. They hardly move. Who would have thought that daddy long legs are very poisonous. lol That's something I will have to share with my friends.
I saw daddy longlegs in camp all the time. Their long skinny legs make it easy to pick them up and case someone around with it. I get creeped out by many crawling things.

Please read the thread more closely, we already disproved that Daddy Long Legs spiders are poisonous to humans. People have got bitten and have always lived to tell the tale. NEVER believe something right away unless you get sufficient proof. ALWAYS do research especially on stuff like that which are called urban legends. This link will help you. Snopes
Well basically I know this guy and I'm kinda friends with him but not that much like we
aren't the best of friends, but we get along OK. He's been going out with a girl since
christmas and they have recently been going through a rough patch, through lots of encouragement
from the outside it has been ended. Now I am pretty interested in the girl, and I reckon she kind
of is me as well. There's no real doubt that we won't hook up. It's pretty obvious.
Herein lies my question. How long should I have to wait. We did joke about her "having an affa....
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....
Hey guys. I just sent my url to google and i was wondering if anyone had any experience with how

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....
In All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque progressively shows the brutality of war
through the eyes of soldiers claiming their innocence. Remarque describes the war as a beastly
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....

Case 1. I believe that to many people today have just given up on school and education. For
instance many people i know just don't try. They are perfectly capable of doing well, but they
have decided not to work. A lot of these people have given up i would say around 4-6th grade and if
it isn't dealt with quickly it becomes habit and then everything gets harder as teachers start
to label these kids and then they just get shunned from proper education. In the USA now it is very
hard to get a good job without an education at least through high school. These p....

Well, I've been doing some research about this, and some sources said that a man can only live
up to 3 days without water, very few said about 5, and one said that a man can live for a whole week
without water, then lose conscience, and live in that condition for another week while his heart and
lungs still work. What do you think? Title and Description changed. Please choose Title and

I created a tutorial the other day on how to create a private WoW server for educational purposes
and so far the link still says the same thing as when I made it which leads me to believe that the
mods have not looked at it yet. I was wondering how long it took them normally to look through
tutorials and accept them or deny them. Also if it is denied I was wondering if there is any
notice, like do they pm you or email you saying it was denied or are you just left hanging wondering
if it was denied or what you did wrong with the tutorial or how to fix it to make it so it....
I've checked a few other requests that were approved and they usually took about 3 or 4 hours.
I'd just like to know when the admins usually come on, how long it usually takes, and if
they're on leave or something. It's been about 18 hours since I posted my request. (I saw
jlhaslip's private message, but that was yesterday at 10:10 PM. I guess I'll just have to
wait and see...)....

Does anybody know of a website or application that allows you to place FREE long distance calls from
your computer to an actual phone? I remember there used to be a company called dialpad that allowed
you to do this. I don't know if they are still around though. I think they started charging for
the service. All the companies I've found require you to pay. There's gotta be a free one
somewhere. Anybody know of one?....
Have you ever tried to think about how long an eternity would be? Whether you believe in an

I would like to share my greatest love story ever. I met my girlfriend on the internet 6 years ago,
that was 30th of August 2002. Most people in my city are indulged in this so called, IRC chats
(since YM wasn't so famous back then). Me and my friends own a channel in a certain IRC server
and that's where our lives are everyday, every free time. One morning (after a whole night of
partying) before going to sleep and still sober, I visited our channel to have a bit of chat. My
ex-girlfriend was there, we greeted each other " mahal, kumusta na? (Love, how are you....
Hey folks. I've been spending some time on planning and preparation for a fairly lengthy story,
and I've now started a first draft I just thought I could share part of the beginning with you
all. Just a couple of things to note before you begin reading this: The story will be a mixture of
western and eastern story motifs. It's primarily a medieval fantasy setting and takes place in a
world where a great empire known as the Anglen Empire has taken over the kingdom of Chin. As you can
guess from their names, the two nations are loosely based on the English and....
I've been going out with this guy for about 2 years now, and for the past 1 or 2 months he was
acting a bit weird. A couple days ago he told me he didn't want to be in a relationship, he
wanted to be single, beacause he's been in serious relationships for a quite a while, so he just
wanted to have some time to himself. Well, with the help of a friend of mine and his, I found out
he's going out with this other girl, and he's been thinking about a serious relationship
with her for a while...and I don't know if he actually waited untill I was out of ....
My girlfriend, D, is moving. She's going to be moving to a small town around two hours away, and
we'll be meeting up on the weekends. This is going to be rough on our relationship, I can
already tell, but I know we can get through this. I'm seeking advice and some tips on how to
keep long distance relationships good. We both have school during the weekdays. What can I do to
keep the relationship good? I can see how seeing each other once a week can cause a lot of stress
and tension in our relationship, but there have to be good ways to prevent it? We'll b....
The topic title is pretty self explanitory, How much do you earn with adsense, how long did it take
and how many visitors do you get? I know there is some sort of regulation where you can't post
specific information, but please share with me what you can, Thank you. ;-) Edit to shorten Topic
title, it was messing up the board. ....
Where to beginn.... me and my ex boyfriend, Chris, started out being best friends for about 2
years. off and on he liked me but i didnt try to mess around with him because my other girlfriends
like him as well. maybe a year later i couldnt help myself but to be interested in him and sooner or
later we were going out. (dont worry my friends didnt like him then) So the beginning of the
relationship it was good, we always promised we would be best friends and talked about how stupid it
was that people wouldnt even talk to eachother after couples break up. everything was f....

Well, I couldn't find a topic I was really interested in, so I thought I would post on something
comletely useless... The world's largest known prime number is actually 7,816,230 digits long,
so I'm not going to type it all out, but the 'Mersenne number' is 225,964,951– 1. It
was discovered by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), a distributed network of
volunteers using their spare computer power to find the largest Mersenne primes. This system
actually discovered the eight largest prime numbers known. And, if you must, you can actual....
