    Ah my old arch nemesis the crane fly has returned I see. :mad: *flashback to childhood being covered in them when leaving the window open at night then getting revenge by pulling the wings off several of the beasts!*

    My daddy has long legs as well. He's an excellent 100m hurdler. He won gold in the Olympics and in my heart.

    I hate them!

    I don't care if there's a spider on my desk, wall or whatever. A fly i can live with, but this amalgamation of the two just really gets to me. I absolutely hate them. They scare the shit out of me, too. Nothing worse than typing away and getting this uncoordinated mess of an insect belting into your face, monitor and keyboard before trying to escape and further hitting into things. Why don't they just do themselves a favor and stay still in the corner like a normal insect.

    When I shower daddy Long legs watch me. It is most disconcerting.

    Plus picking up a daddy long legs makes me shudder.

    That was on myth busters, but what americans call daddy long legs and what we call daddy long legs are different. Their version is a spider where ours is a love child between a spider and a fly who spent his childhood as a tequila maggot

    Yeah but that crap about them being really being the most poisonous but just not being able to use it is a load of crap.

    I hate it when somebody says that and actually believes it. Makes me want to slap them on the side of the head.

    I'm surprised it took until the second page for this to be written. This is a myth, there is no evidence that they are venomous to humans.

    Weird. When I hear "daddy long legs" I don't think crane fly, I think of this. Interesting. Must be different over here. What do you call those yokes, then? Just regular spiders...? Do you even get them in Ireland or are they a north american thing?

    I didn't know it was an actual myth.
    I thought it was from that joke Ricky Gervais told at one of his shows...:confused:
