Well I guess you learn something new everyday. I ran across a bump on his back and when I touched it he said it hurt. So I take a look at it and told him it was probably a spider bite or something and would go away soon. Well, he started obsessing over it and the fact that a spider would crawl through his bed at night, let a lone bite him.

I look at him funny and recite that saying about how the average amount of spiders swallowed while a person is asleep and he just freaked out on me. I thought he was kidding and reached to tickle his neck like there was a spider there. I guess that wasn't such a good idea after all... 😀

So I had to get online and find him some resource stating that it the whole swallowing spiders thing is a myth (so he could sleep at night). Figure I might as well post it here for all of you as well.

The whole ballooning spiders thing sounds really scary though.
 
This had so much potential as a great thread with that title. The possibilities were numerous, yet, I didn't think this was the direction it would take. 😀
 
I don't agree with (b) there has to be a wandering spider in your immediate vicinity, also something which--for most people in the civilized world, at least--is a fairly rare occurrence. I'm sure of reading from Discovery or Nature that we are never more than 3 feet away from a spider, which is not that hard to believe with the way buildings are constructed. Can't find a really offical site stating that, but "spiders 3 feet more than" isn't that good of a search phrase either.
 
Spiders are evil...haha j/k but I don't like them very much. Had to kill one a couple days ago for my gf's sister. A big spider would definately scare the living shat outta me. :Q
 
Now why would you kill it? Just take a glass, put it over the spider and slide a piece of cardboard or something similar under the glass and take the poor thing outside. Do you have any idea what would happen without spiders? Show some respek! :|
 
I don't mind spiders. There are few seriously poisonous spiders in my region, which is why I forbid them being killed in my house. First off, spiders are builders, killing them in your house is bad luck. Second they keep the population of winged pests and those realllllly creeepy predatory centipedes down. Gah, those creepy centipedes are way more freaky than a little spider.

Spiders are cool, spider-goats are teh c00l37

I popped an egg sac of spiders once and it's crazy - hundreds, maybe thousands of those tiny little bastards came running out of it. Consuming those microscopic newborn spiders by accident is the only way I can think of that 4spiders/year eaten thing being true.
 
spiders freak me out. thread about the intrinsic human fear of spiders.

a spider freaked out me and my wife the other day while we were driving around. we didn't kill it though, we just scooped it onto a newspaper and dropped it on the sidewalk(after screaming and somehow managing to safely pull over to the side of the road 🙂 ).
