Actually, that was a rumor started by a woman trying to prove how gullible people can be. Just sayin'. ^___^

Yah, that Really grossed them out when they think about it. I wanted to make a slight correction about the quote I read; you eat about 4 1/2 spiders in your "sleep" during your average life, I forgot to add that earlier. Some of use can go through life without ever eating a spider, but others out have to eat nearly 20 to make up for that statistical average. Nobody messes with during lunchtime

Hey, you kinda goofed that one. It's "During their lifetime, the average human will eat eight spiders IN THEIR SLEEP" lol Kinda makes the situation different.

It got me thinking.. so I done some research. "Most Americans consume over a pound of insects without even realizing it. Every time you eat a regular Hershey’s milk chocolate bar, you consume around 34 insect fragments (100 grams of chocolate contains an average of 80 insect fragments). 100 grams of peanut butter contains an average of 60 insect fragments. Any tomato sauce, pizza sauce for example, contains 30 eggs or 2 maggots per hundred grams. 75 insect fragments makes 50 grams of wheat flour. Many insect species are higher in protein, lower in fat, and all in all healthier than beef, pork, chicken, or lamb." (from [link] ) Mmm bug protein.

Would you shut your eyes wuth that lot around you!?

Only joking - point well taken.

I've eaten crickets - crunchy and nutty. Perhapse we should open up insect farms for the protein (althogh I've got a nasty feeling this may have already been done!)

Haha. I thought they were potatoes at first.
I doubt I've eaten any yet, but I'm still young. I've still got many years to eight them.
How many have you eaten?

I think I'm on the average 8 - next time you have a baked potato have a closer look - it could be one of these fellas!

Cute picture, but that's an urban legend... have you been reading those cursed Snapple caps? Deceiving the masses, I tells ye!! (go to snapple.com and play the game, you'll see what I mean)

They also disproved that myth on snopes.com, methinks...

Either way, I love this deviation.

Great dawing as usual.

I've actually eaten some spiders that I was consious for... I was just too lazy (I was in bed and it was like 6 am...no sleep...and it was 103 degrees) to spit them out, so the buggers kinda ..crawled down...

Sounds like they nomunated certain spiders to be eaten - to not be eaten would have brought shame on their families!

You were doing them a service!
