Stay in this room 24 hours for $50k. Can you do it?

Knowing that they (appear) to be Daddy Long Legs, I would be ick'ed out, but I could do it. Change that to just about any other spider, and nope nope nope.

I'm not sure I could do it, but once I saw that's what they were, my ick factor decreased significantly.
 
No problem. Those spiders are harmless. I still wouldn't enjoy stuff crawling all over me for 24 hours, but for 50K? Easy decision.
 
Depending on the fine details, I'd probably do it for $500. That's just not scary. Creepy, and I wouldn't do it for free, but not frightening at all.
 
Hell I'd do it for free as long as I could take in my laptop and something to drink and munch on.
 
I used to play with daddy long legs as a kid. Not torture, PLAY.

All manner of critters were my friends as a kid.

Wolf spiders were very common for a large portion of it.
They're actually quite harmless (to humans) and fun to hold.
 
TIL daddy long legs are not spiders?
There are three different creatures called "daddy long-legs" or "Grandaddy long-legs," only one of which is a spider. Though they have shorter legs than the ones I am familiar with, these are clearly Harvestmen AKA "Daddy Long-Legs," which are not spiders. One of the others is some flying insect similar to a Mayfly. The one that actually is a spider is just a common House Spider, which looks nothing like a Harvestman. Insects have three major body parts, spiders have two, and Harvestmen have one. They are all arachnids.

As a kid I contradicted many people who'd spout that ignorant "most poisonous spider in the world but the mouth it too small to bite!" nonsense by telling them that it wasn't even a spider. One wanted to fight me because I was basically calling his dad a liar!

I don't need $50k that much, even if they are daddy long legs. I remember crawling under my moms house to run cable and dealing with all the webs. Didn't feel clean for weeks. Should have just went to home depot and paid some guy $100 to do it.

I'd rather spend 24 hours in a haunted house, for less money.

Then you will be happy to know that these make no webs. When can we pencil you in for a visit?
