i read this quote somewhere too, but then i read it somewhere else in this book that refuted popular facts and apparently its completely made up and untrue

I'm sure you're all right that it's made up - how could anyone measure that and why would they want to do so?
However it's not implausible at all that we inadvertently ingest insects and/or spiders - it's sort of funny how uncomfortable some people here are with the idea, particularly considering how insects are common in the diet of some cultures. I wonder if these same people are comfortable eating arthropods such as lobsters and shrimp?

I used to have those at an apartment I live in. I think they're called asian burrowing crickets or something..they're incredibly disgusting, but that's it. They don't ruin anything and they're fun for cats to chase.

Lol I like how you just RAIDed it and you want your cat to eat it.
Also like the part about waiting and mocking you but im too lazy to quote it.

On the subject of eating bugs, I went to a CSN concert this summer at an outdoor amphitheater. During one song, Nash kind of choked up a bit in the middle of it for a minute, and afterward Crosby grabbed one of the mics and told everyone "Nash just did one of the hardest things in show business: he inhaled a bug during that last song."
So I'm sure the "statistic" is fake and all, but it does happen. :s

I've got one of the things in my basement. It just won't shut up at night.
Also quite difficult to find.
Luckily, it doesn't work it's way up to my room. Well, I'm not really sure what I would do if that happened...

It's completely implausible actually.

I fucking love jumping cricket spiders! Well the noise is kinda annoying I guess but they're pretty cool
|
i sleep with spiders! theyre cute, ants on the other hand are evil, if i find an ant it's dead in seconds.
|
I...feel threatened for some reason :c
|
it really feels like i wrote this blog myself i experienced almost exactly the same thing omg
im scared as shit of bugs and the damn crickets are in my house too they dodged my firebat bug spray (maybe i will really use fire next time...) so i was like wtf and hes like gg no re and dipped out somewhere dark
now i know he still lurks there burrowed with his lil spines getting ready to stop lurker me any time soon -_-
|
if it doesn't fly and sting man up.
and i believe half the posters have reading comprehension problems
Naturally I go get some fucking RAID to nuke the son of a bitch, who cares about poison all over my room, right? I can't find any so I get some scrubbing bubbles since cleaning something so filthy has to be fatal to it I assume.
|
That's pretty fucked up. You must be really scared of insects o_o....
I lol'd so hard at you trying to micro it with the towel though.
5/5

That's right. Spiders aren't insects, but people eating some number of spiders a year on average is false. http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/spiders.asp yea I was just gonna quote that.
Also daddy long legs are not the most poisonous spiders and yes their fangs are long enough to bite human skin.

I laughed my ass off at the whole story. It was great. 5/5
sorry you couldn't find it though
|
Don't worry crickets don't bite, so it's hard to do anything to you even in your sleep :p.
Other than that, buy some insecticide and spray your room.
