Hee bee gee bee's is like having the willies but worse. I guess it's like a guys version of being grossed out. Does that make it any clearer? It's hard to explain.

It went beyond the hee bee gee bees for me. It gave me the screaming willies.

Snope, that snot true. Its venom is entirely harmless to humans.

Remember, this thread is on a one minute delay.

Ok, I stand corrected on the matter of the daddy longlegs...I did think about googling this before I posted it, and I obviously should have! I didn't bother because this isn't a political thread and I wasn't likely to get reamed for it.

The hobo info. is real, at least; I've done a lot of research on them after realizing they are all over my house.

recluse can also kill you. they are named the name for a reason. most humans will never encounter one. they don't like busy places. their range is bigger then one of the links seems to say.

I came face to face with two brown recluse spiders once years ago. We decided to leave each other alone and went on our way. Lots of black widows around here, but a black widow is like a piss ant next to it closely related brown cousin.

Besides, the creature I've always called a daddy long legs isn't even a true spider (10 legs and no silk, IIRC).

Man, I thought it was true, too. We must get the same idiot email. Worse, I often keep the meme alive by forwarding it. I try to resolve to kill the memes and have no idea how many people have suffered ugly deaths and bad luck because I failed to forward some plea for St Jude or a business card.

But I slack on some that are amusing or interesting.

S'right, Arinida, IIRC.

DAMN that's nasty. I had a friend that got bit by one on his right hand. He said he woke up the next morning with his arm paralysed and a nasty black streak up his arm and halfway accross his chest. Doc said if it had been on his left side and that much closer to his heart it might have killed him.

Not too sure about that. Last I checked, California was west of Home (Tejas) and the brown recluse is known to reside in the area of my California house, along with about a billionmillion black widow spiders. Lady from the region died from a brown recluse bite a few years back - bit on the foot, dead brown recluse found in her shoe. It was an agonizingly slow death as I recall, took almost two weeks from her to succumb IIRC.
