Funny at first, but about five times as long as it needs to be.

I didn't watch it, and I have no idea what it is about, but it is probably a photochop.

Yea, that one was pretty funny.

It is called Daddy Long Legs! Oh? Really? Where is it'.... does it have a head? No. Does it have a thorax, or maybe an abdomen? No

haha he's got a point, most spiders have cool names like Black Widow and Taranchula, who names a spider Daddy Long Legs?

Daddy Long Legs are not spiders.

This.

I was very disappointed in the Mythbusters episode about Daddy Long-Legs. They used some kind of spider, and that's NOT what people around here call "daddy long-legs."

Harvestman = Daddy Long-Legs

I've also seen some kind of mayfly referred to with the same name.

Yeah the name can refer to several different species:

I don't see many huntsman spiders around here so to me these are Daddy Long Legs:

LIES! It's a spider! If it walks like a duck and freaks the crap out of me like a duck, then it's a duck!
