If I don't just pick them up with some tp and drop them in the toilet, I'll spray them with bug killer and just sit there and watch them die...and THEN toss them in the toilet.

Except for Daddy Long Legs. I'll actually play with those (Id est, freak my sister out) and then release them outside.

Did you know Long Legs are actually very poisonous, they just don't have the ability to bite us.

HandOfHeaven 2006-05-09 03:06 PM

Yeah, apparently if they even have anything to bite with, it is too small to pierce our skin.

Kaneda 2006-05-09 03:34 PM

So don't eat them?

Sovereign 2006-05-09 06:24 PM

Not as deadly as black widows though :p (i saw a show where it was rumored that they were MORE deadly. They injected black widow venom and daddy long legs venom into rats, and the black widow won)

Rurouni Storm 2006-05-09 06:40 PM

Old wives' tale. Daddy Long Legs are probably not venomous at all and if they are, the venom is so weak it can't hurt humans.

So are we supposed to bake a cake for you or what...?

Rurouni Storm 2006-05-09 09:09 PM

Yes. Get your ass in the kitchen and bake me a cake since you are my bitch and I own you.

Snopes' "proof" is this:

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.




That basically says that even if the spider were super venomous, nobody knows because nobody has tested it. That doesn't prove they aren't super venomous, it just proves nobody has proof.

Long story short: Don't lubricate spiders.

Astroglide: Not just for spiders!

Willkillforfood 2006-05-10 04:52 AM

al naturale baby. I used to play with those things like crazy. They tickle.

Jessifer 2006-05-10 08:18 AM

Yes, yes I did.

Led 2006-05-14 09:57 PM

Hmm.. Wolf spiders are fun to kill, I put a soft shell turtle on it. It was funny as hell. I also used my airsoft on it, the dang orange ammo went through.

dirty_sox3 2006-05-19 10:28 PM

a friend of my killed a rat by scaring it into having a heart attack. it was pretty funny. the mouse was running around one moment, and the when it was surrounded by 4 huge guys, it just dropped dead.

Grav 2006-05-19 10:32 PM

Didn't know that could happen.

Kaneda 2006-05-20 12:15 AM

Well they say you learn something new every day right?

Lenny 2006-05-20 06:54 AM

Of course it can happen.

If your cat brings in a shrew, or a mouse or a vole that's still alive, you've got to be careful that you don't scare it, else it'll crawl into a hole, have a heartattack, die, and stink out the house until you can find it.

Sovereign 2006-05-20 09:12 AM

Let your cat out? Your cat takes shits on the lawn?

dirty_sox3 2006-05-20 09:43 AM

i don't know how it happend, but it did. it was either a heart attack or a stroke. poor mouse...
