Daddy Long Legs - Did You Know it's most poisonous
Cerebral Stasis
Nov 6 2005, 04:46 PM
I once used to like to pull the legs off of daddy long-legs, but at one point, the little thing managed to turn around and bite me. I was pretty scared, to say the least, since I, too, had heard the myths about them being poisonous and that they supposedly couldn't bite humans. Well, nothing ever came of it, although I don't pull their legs off anyone (ain't I nice?).
Spiders never really scare me, unless they are absolutley huge.
same here, spiders are not that a big deal for me when we talk about on what to fear of, put a spider and a snake in there and I would be too much scared of a snake, maybe I think this is because I lack more on knowledge on what kind of spider is really poisonous.
In our country part of our childhood was to catch a spiders and let them fight, just like a boxing match, lol those were the days.
I'm not afraid of most spiders per se, but I don't want them touching me, and if I, for example, get them on a stick and they suddenly start charging my hand, I'm pretty quick to drop the stick.
As for most house spiders, I just don't like to have them around (at least not in my room); ditto those big, fat barn spiders.
even more amazing thing abotu dady long legs this is to the topic orginator btw.
they live for 1 day becuase they have no mouth and they cant eat thus they starve to death. thus i come to conclusion that there small flying twigs with legs .
To the first reply..
a dady long leg is an incect that is what is meant by dady long legs and they look like this
Well, the I believe this topic was originally made concerning the SPIDER with the name daddy longlegs. As for the thing posted above, I have seen those before, and I was always under the impression that they were some kind of misquito (after slapping at a few normal-sized misquitoes, I saw that big bugger and couldn't help but run from what I assumed was super-misquito). It may be a male of some kind of misquito species (male misquitoes don't suck blood, only the females do [I guess humans and misquitoes have more in common than meets the eye]), or, considering it's short lifespan, perhaps is related to the mayfly (they have no mouthparts as an adult).
I know they're not "super misquitoes"; I was in third grade at the time it happened.
Daddy long legs, of course, isn't a true name, and is just a nick-name. There are actually 3 "daddy long legs"; the Cellar, Vibrating, or House Spider (Pholcidae), the Harvestman (Opiliones), and the Crane Fly (Tipulidae). I'm assuming this topic was originally made with the Harvestman Spider in mind, and the image shown above, of course, is a Crane Fly.
The Crane fly, as is mentioned above, lives only a few days, since it can't eat once it is an adult.
The Cellar/House/Vibrating spider lives in dark areas, makes webs, and can bite, but apparently don't possess a poison toxic enough to harm humans.
The Harvestman is not really a spider, since it's two body sections are almost combined, it has only two eyes (as can be seen here), it has no silk glands, and it secretes a strange-smelling fluid from scent glands when they are disturbed. Also, it's legs contain muscles that allow it to move (and will twitch from anywhere between a minute and an hour when pulled off, supposedly to keep the enemy entertained as the spider itself escapes; the removal of limbs is not fatal). Spiders, on the other hand, (for the most part) all have silk glands, some kind of venom, eight eyes, no scent glands, and move by pumping blood into their legs, causing the legs to stretch out (meaning if you pull the leg off a spider, chances are it won't survive). Few harvestman have venom, and those that do don't possess venom strong enough to harm a human. In other words, they're completely harmless.
Now, hopefully that will clear up the little misunderstandings we've been having when referring to the "daddy long legs."

It has sure been one long hard month on this poor old fat lady. Kidding started a month ago
yesterday, and while we still have a few that might kid, most of it is over now, thank god! I
don't know how much more I could stand! And my hosting credits slipped rapidly away, far
too many hours in the goat pasture to sit at the computer. For the past 15 or so years, I have
kept my goat herd down to a manageable size, usually around 15 head. They were all Alpine Dairy
goats. Just enough to raise a few beef calves, and have plenty of milk for puppies, etc. B....
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....
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....
Ok first of all, i have read through all the Firefox tune-up tutorials on the site, and none of them
have mentioned on how to make Firefox load faster like IE. So i thought i should make a easy
tutorial on it. REAL EASY WAY: Download Firetune: FIRETUNE And you will know what to do,
just muck around with the software’s settings. COMPLICATED BUT TECHNICAL WAY: And second of
all, all those who are still using IE (Microsoft's infamous Internet Explorer) get Firefox. Why
you may ask, read this: FIREFOX vs. IE . Have you ever noticed on how fast IE lo....

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

was that people wouldnt even talk to eachother after couples break up. everything was f....
