They are all true....Now go back and think about #16
 
I don't know about eating spiders,cause they mustn't have any flavor to them....but anyone who lives up here, I am sure has had the joy of waking up with the taste of maple bug in your mouth....And trust me they don't taste nothing like maple syrup!!! :shock:
 
So that's why I sometimes wake up with a web in the corners of my lips.

Cowgirl, I could have lived quite happily for years without that little tidbit of information. :???: :???:

PLEASE tell me that average is world wide. That would mean I'd have swallowed very few compared to people in the tropics.

I'm going to say #9 is false. Do the math, that is 10% of your life or 2 hr. 24 mn. every day. Unless of course people in other countries and big cities are waiting in line 4 hours a day to make up for the rest of us.

i've been looking for some back up on this and found lots of conflicting info on spiders. first of all, daddy long legs aren't really spiders and they aren't poisonous. that said, i found 1 site that said a person swallows 7 spiders in their lifetime. still searching for where i got the other #. (*found other numbers. they say 3-8 a year. then found article below*)


****http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/spiders.htm found this after more searching. looks like we're all safe after all. from gagging on a spider anyway.

the spider that they are refering to are only the little Gosimer (money) spider, they float on the air currents, and have been found as far up as the outer hemisphere, the normal house spider is supposed to taste of nutmeg, but I would not like to try one. this first came about in a Documentary by Sir David Attenbourgh, I wish he had kept this finding to himself.
also none of the immediate heirs to the throne travel together in any kind of transport, in case of crash or kidnap, i.e the Queen and Charles...Charles and William or the Queen and William.
 
i grew up with a kid with no belly button. For real. When he was born his guts were hanging out so they sowed him up and there is nothing close to a belly button there. just a scar that looks like a butt.
