[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lethaldonut Daddy long legs are not very venomous at all, and are perfectly capable of biting you. [/quote] Wrong! "Daddy-longlegs spiders (Pholcidae) - Here, the myth is incorrect at least in making claims that have no basis in known facts. There is no reference to any pholcid spider biting a human and causing any detrimental reaction. If these spiders were indeed deadly poisonous but couldn't bite humans, then the only way we would know that they are poisonous is by milking them and injecting the venom into humans. For a variety of reasons including Amnesty International and a humanitarian code of ethics, this research has never been done. Furthermore, there are no toxicological studies testing the lethality of pholcid venom on any mammalian system (this is usually done with mice). Therefore, no information is available on the likely toxic effects of their venom in humans, so the part of the myth about their being especially poisonous is just that: a myth. There is no scientific basis for the supposition that they are deadly poisonous and there is no reason to assume that it is true. What about their fangs being too short to penetrate human skin? Pholcids do indeed have short fangs, which in arachnological terms is called "uncate" because they have a secondary tooth which meets the fang like the way the two grabbing parts of a pair of tongs come together. Brown recluse spiders similarly have uncate fang structure and they obviously are able to bite humans. There may be a difference in the musculature that houses the fang such that recluses have stronger muscles for penetration because they are hunting spiders needing to subdue prey whereas pholcid spiders are able to wrap their prey and don't need as strong a musculature. So, again, the myth states as fact something about which there is no scientific basis." TLDR: We actually don't even know if Daddy Long Legs can bite us or not.

Xmas" is not a secular plan to "take the Christ out of Christmas." "The usual suggestion is that 'Xmas' is ... an attempt by the ungodly to x-out Jesus and banish religion from the holiday. However, X stands for the Greek letter Chi, the starting letter of Christ in Greek. The use of the word "Xmas" can be traced to the year 1021 when "monks in Great Britain...used the X while transcribing classical manuscripts into Old English" in place of "Christ".The Oxford English Dictionary's "first recorded use of 'Xmas' for 'Christmas' dates back to 1551. George Washington did not have wooden teeth. He had four different sets of dentures: gold, hippopotamus ivory, lead, and human and animal teeth. Eww. The Twinkie does not have an infinite shelf life.

Daddy long legs are not very venomous at all, and are perfectly capable of biting you. Most diamonds are not formed from highly-compressed coal. Most diamonds that have been dated are older than the first land plants, and are therefore older than coal. Human blood in veins is not blue. In fact, blood is always red due to hemoglobin.
