How?

[southern4501isawesom]

#1 is wrong.. spiders are spiders.

[rusman74x]

@southern4501isawesom Of course spiders are spiders; they are also arachnids.

Arachnids (spiders, scorpions, ticks etc.) have 8 legs and 2 body segments.

Insects have 6 legs and 3 body segments.

[Coconutszz]

[Oncus2]

Well, this video is underrated.

[jenchapple89]

Myth: Most spiders can't bite humans because their fangs are too small.

Fact: Only true of very smallest species. But most spider bites are harmless to humans.

Ohhh, this is VERY comforting! So most spiders CAN bite you. And their bites STILL HURT!!

[evildeathdude1223]

[s3pacal]

Myth: Spiders have 9 legs.

Truth: Spiders have 8 legs.

I think I had a misconception about how interesting this video would be.

[SlayerX114]

*arachnophobia* 

[ThePrinceofPersiaGod]

I knew most of these already... cool!!

[zzyzx0788]

So they'd die if I put them outside?

Does that mean I can...KILL IT WITH FIRE THEN!??!?

[MrCapCaz]

True story: As I'm watching this, a HUGE spider comes into my room. I am scarred for life.....

[Wiseguydude]

[8SECEVO8]

@Wiseguydude a house spider/grass spider. a lot of people call them wolf spiders but thats not true a wolf spider is a small turantula about the size of the palm of your hand. we have bolth types here in colorado

[CaptainThomson]

crane flies have no venom? DAMN YOU APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!

[thelizardofodd]

For some reason when I started watching this, I thought perhaps I would be assuaged by interesting facts that make spiders seem less terrifying. I was wrong.

[iiskillzxd]

went 4 seconds...cant watch any more LOL

[theponey]

~1:29, Point 4: There you have it - EXTERMINATE ALL SPIDERS!

[VampireDog12]

*Saw #4*

[JunkyGuru]

[TheMarioman369]

[wiremode]

I still think they look scary, I always knew they wouldnt really hurt you, however you cannot make me less scared of them, -_- and @ TheOtherLioyd , nope I just think thats dumb, and not our fault, (well it kinda is) now lets see the 10 common myths about Weed :D as i am smoking one xD Netherlands PEOPLE ftw!

[SSZLegacy]

after watching this, now all the spider are crawling on me

[SamDul1000]

this is scarier that any horror movie i've ever seen.

[TheOtherLioyd]

@SamDul1000 You know what's really scary? That you're less scared of people killing each other than you are of a tiny little thing that neither can nor cares about hurting you.

[mackdaddyyy69]

after i watched this fuck man i thought for like 20 minutes there was spiders crawling on me.

[WOAHITSABRO]

how did i get here.

[epicduckeh6]

I put a house spider outside once, it died 2 seconds later, it just spazzed out on the ground and then died....

[Ladiciuston]

@epicduckeh6 it prob didnt die in 2 sec... it played dead because knew it was in danger

[epicduckeh6]

@Ladiciuston but i poked it with a stick...still didnt move..

[bourky93]

The last one made me /facepalm

[Mattteus]

Seriously? There are people that think spiders are insects? *sigh*

[DetectiveMapler]

I didn't know that we eat an average of 4 spiders annually...

[DMN5204]

I coulda told you the last one dude...

[Littlestarcouture]

I had some spider-like fly in my house. I researched it and it turned out to be a crane fly. It was pretty harmless and it didn't really bite anyone, but it was a complete NUISANCE inside the house and it flew around everywhere! I left for a while and found it dead on the windowsill.

[bitethis47]

that means i can handle almost any spider without being in danger..if i die ill sue you all time..lol

[SoldierOfShadowSOS]

*sees number 3* *tries to take a crap ASAP*

[theninjapenguin15]

[imashortminimidget]

[NiteLiter131]

Myth: You swallow an average of 4 spiders in your sleep each year.

Truth: You swallow an average of 16 spiders in your sleep each year >:P

[BulgarianShadow]

[BigJT2010]

@BulgarianShadow that doesnt mean their bite doesnt hurt

[radiatedpancakes14]

the number one thing should've been spiders don't give you superpowers

[ilovetogofast88]

SPIDERS ARE AWESOME!

[keyeonie]

DA FUCK??!! SWALLOW AN AVERAGE OF 4 SPIDERS A YEAR? sweet~! needed the extra protein!

[Wharwulif]

Just leave those creatures and others ALONE,stop fearing them like idiots,stop calling them ugly,and stop trying to kill them-because all you do by fearing,revolting and killing them,is just to prove that YOU are the evil ugly and frightening giant monsters that goes out to kill anything in it's path for no actual reason,other then your stupid conquest to kill different things.

Damm with humanity,and hail to the Xenomorph Butterfly Overmind!!!

Insects=important,humans=optio­nal-START REALIZING IT

[doofisondeeds]

@Wharwulif there ugly

[Wharwulif]

@doofisondeeds And so are you,and so am I,and so is the planet and so is the moon...Everything is ugly,didn't you get it yet?

If you didn't...well...first go do some adventuring,then take an arrow in the knee,then you would realize how disgusting the world really is.

Remember...we are all eventually a cycle of Poop!!!

[markecccc889]

@Wharwulif I'm pretty sure that if there was a breed of giant spiders, and I came to is habitat, he'd surely kill me. Why would I spare others then. It's called protecting your habitat.

[Wharwulif]

@markecccc889 I'm pretty sure that a breed of giant spiders will have VERY different way of life then the smaller ones,due to many various reasons-therefor you can't say anything about them.

Also,humans definition of "habitat" is rather distorted,and notice how they tend to kill each other over it.

There is no rule to act one way or another,and animals tend to mark their territory and have natural warning signs that say "back away"-humans tend to just conquer/kill/enslave all,and warn None.

[markecccc889]

@Wharwulif Still going to keep killing spiders and destroying their nets because they look ugly and I want to keep my house clean.

So that's a bad thing in your opinion.

[Wharwulif]

@markecccc889 Actually,by killing spiders you invite many other things in.

And spider nests looks awesome! it's a wonderful addition to a house!

And yes,what you say IS a bad thing,because you have a misconception of what "clean" means...Spiders are Very clean,most of them tend to camp in one spot and that's that,and overall-Like insects,spiders also tend to clean themselves,only much less often-They don't need much.

You are most likely much more filthier then any spider you will ever meet!

[markecccc889]

@Wharwulif Well firstly, Spider nets don't look awesome. They are filth, and a terrible addition.

And really, you try this: Get some spiders on your walls, let them make nets and whatever, then call some friends or family over and see the reaction.

And I saw a spider walk on shit once.

[Wharwulif]

@markecccc889 Those who I consider friends are not the brainwashed rubble you tend to have,and I already got spiders,they don't bother anyone.

Again,those creatures Clean themselves,humans tend to create waste mountains,tend to pollute oceans,Poison the air,kill things for no reason,and dump their shit to the waters they drink,and lets not even talk about damm plastic!!!

Suddenly spider who moved on shit seems rather clean,ah?

[markecccc889]

@Wharwulif brb gonna kill some spiders and you cant stop me.

[Wharwulif]

@markecccc889 When comes the time you look back and wonder whata heck happened...remember that moment like these are those that shaped your future.

And that is why things fail...too cruel to care,too stupid to manage themselves,too big to even stand.

If you choose to be a monster,then expect to live in a monstrous world,For nature adapt to situations,action drags reaction.

What a shame.

.

[markecccc889]

@Wharwulif Well roar in that case

[Wharwulif]

@markecccc889 Your choice eventually...it's amazing how people then wonder why there is suffering in the world-they kinda are the ones making it happen,and keeping it that way.

What a disgrace...

[jjammmees]

Myth: We are more scared of spiders than spiders are of us. Truth: Spiders are actually more scared compared to how big we are to them

[porterejohn]

@jjammmees Spiders are simple creatures. They don't feel fear. Like insects everything they do is a direct reaction to an environmental stimulus. For example, they don't think "It's cold in here, better go nearer to the boiler". They sense that it is cold which stimulates them to move around more - randomly until their senses detect an increase in temperature then they keep walking that way. That's what my entomology lecturer said anyway... and it makes sense when you think about it.

[Yanate1991]

Harvestman is probably the thing I am the most scared of ever, I can even get paralyzed of fear when I see one, goddamn it I hate those things.

[Paradioto]

I thought daddy long legs was the larger version of a mosquito....

[TazCO1]

there's a record for having a tarantula in your mouth

[dood610365]

on the eating spiders while you sleep. I WISH TO GOD YOU HAD SAID "you dont eat any spiders in your sleep ever in your life".. its currently 1 am..and im about to go to sleep! GOD DAMN IT

[AVenGer777rocks]

Thumbs Up if you scrolled down

yeah i'm lookin at you :l

[TheDezmona]

Aaah life is good on Iceland, we have absolutely no poisonous insects/arachnids here :)

[TheBTComedy]

Great vid, didn't know much of this stuff, except for #1. Still a great vid!

[RockstarHQ1]

What`s whit all the gay to comments

[Pyro25100]

Tarantulas are cool. I find them everywhere. I'll sometimes stop and just look at them or hold them :P

[9751shane]

when it said you swallow 4 spiders in your sleep each year i quivered and never wanted to go back to sleep every again

[9MarliN4]

When I lived in Georgia I picked up tarantulas all the time in my back yard, to this day they are the only spiders that I like. I had no idea people thought they were dangerous.

[32deej]

*scratch* *itch*

[32deej]

i got bit by a cellar spider and it was itchy, nothing more. totally ruined my day to see what was moving on my arm though

[MrFigmentofi]

*hits head on keyboard*

WHY DID I WATCH THIS!

[BurntheJacket]

Did number one seriously have to be number one...or are there really people who did not get the education or are ignorant enough to just say that...

[gyqz]

Spiders are magnificent!!!

[joejar5]

People have misjudged spiders and tarantulas SO poorly, I feel sorry for them, they're not as harmless as we think they are and the poor creatures don't attack unless threatened, some of them are pretty cute too :). May God keep all his creatures, not just humans even in spite of what we do to each other and other creatures on the earth, safe in Jesus Christ.

[valdas0]

Kill them with fire!!

[kingmoria]

The fact that a spider isn't an insect is a well known truth. It's not a common misconception.

[1gamesforyou]

I swallow spiders during my sleep? seriously?

[joejar5]

@1gamesforyou That's an OBVIOUSLY DUMB statement, I can't people(not all of course) actually think that. My goodness we would've all felt like something was crawling in us if that were the case :p.

[gndo0681]

millipedes Why there isn't?

[MrDutchcrafter]

Yes I was hoping the eat spiders in your sleep story was a myth. Have been living with that idea for years.

[mangalori]

They don't thrive outside? Well too bad, they still get kicked out.

[TheRedGuitar00]

lol, in another video of alltime10's it sad tarantulas are actually agressive, fuck you alltime10

[Mohrkai]

@TheRedGuitar00

tarantulas, although big are usually slow and don't move if on your hand. try one, they're not like the average house spider. in the same way a cheetah, tiger is nothing like a domesticated cat

[AnDPineapple]

OH FUCK SWALLOW ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????

[AnDPineapple]

I Shallow? What does that even mean?



[FirestarsLoyalPub]

I used to kill spiders, But then I saw this video and took a arrow to the knee.

[dandrew953]

SLOW THE FUCK DOWN IM TRYING TO READ XD

[oN1GHTMAREo]

how do i pronounce arachnid?

[WaroWari]

@oN1GHTMAREo

ah-rakk-nihd

[Mythic3600]

MWAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAA­!!!!! I knew #5. But dont think im unfazed, Im scared shitless to even step outside my room now.

[TRexCoffee]

thumbs up if you checked every corner of your room after watching this

[iBiigBee]

i don't know why the fuck i watched this, I can't put my fuckin feet on the floor now!

[XxwolfyxoXo]

@iBiigBee lol i did after i read your comment ;D

[DrDevNic]

I watched this video halfway scrolled down the screen

[Link500ACS]

the number 1 misconception is seriously something that everyone should of learned about in grade school.

[xxxKERNKRAFT400xxx]

According to number 4, if I see a spider in my house, instead of put it out, I should kill him for its own good?

[nikkilovescats]

mother of fuck i hate spiders urghhhhhhhh..

[xxdallwallxx]

i knew number 1 for a long time but good video

[Stormsurgy]

Gross we swallow 4 spiders in sleep per year thats kinda......*Barfs*Ugly.....

[Vgamer311]

@Stormsurgy that was the myth, but we actually don't

[thingman100]

I didn't know spiders were called arachnids, but I knew they weren't insects, because the don't have 6 legs which all insects have (unless you are a sadist and you pulled one off of it)

[DeluxeWarPlaya]

you really must know nothing if you thought spiders are insects. Go and watch the child prodigies video

[Janskleig]

Hmm what's under the toiletseat hahahaha :D

[MonsterBuddy10]

Aww those spiders are so cute! I love to collect tarantulas and have over 100 of them, is that weird?

[suphalol]

I feel something in my leg...

[spy4561]

Lol this made me put my feet on my chair instead of having them on the floor

[NinjaWolf1x]

Yeah..... that "crane fly" is definitely not a daddy long legs... looks more like a mosquito to me

[SSTTYYDD]

tell me why i see these stealth lookin fast fuckin spiders in my house and i went to the doctors after thinking i was bit in my sleep and they confirmed it. its like a big nasty painful zit looking thing. gosh i hate spiders...

[JapaneseAnya]

OMG THIS WAS TORTURE O.O

Now I cant stop seeing spiders everywhere and feeling them crawling on me :((

[Mohrkai]

@JapaneseAnya

have you felt spiders on you before?

[JapaneseAnya]

@Mohrkai Yes,actually my best experience so far was when I woke up after an entire night of feeling something weird on my neck and it turned out to be a big black spider. It was as big as a tarantula!!! :((

[abbynormal0ne]

None of the things in the vid you said where often called 'daddy long legs' aren't any of the images I know as a daddy long legs....

[MsTovlu]

Even though its daddy long legs, I have a habit of saying Dandy Long Legs =p

[SkierRob]

did anyone else think number 4 was kinda redundant? instead of killing house spiders you should let them outside and kill them...

[sinderblack]

NR 3 WTF

[Black1625]

"The Pot Spider doesn't make a web, it instead made a hammoc, and sat all day watching the caffine spider"

[Snowhunter21]

@Black1625 Unfortunately he's the crack spider's bitch now.

[nlsnowkiller]

Wow number 1 threw me for a loop! 

[aweirdguyforever]

Anyone get really itchy all of a sudden?

[XSuperTortugaX]

@aweirdguyforever OMGZ you have Crabs!

[zoombalaboy]

Who needs sleep?

[friday13thkiller]

1:38

Me : MOM! Where's the duct tape?

Mom : Why?

Me : So I won't swallow any spiders..

Mom : O.O

[mceditor123]

0:35 YEAH BUT IT HURTS ALOTT!

[mrliampep5i]

i had to scroll down so i could only see the text because i couldnt handle looking at the spider pictures without having a heart attack lol

[tacoismykitty]

im not sure the fact about daddy long legs being non-venomous is true, i think they are very but they can't penetrate human skin because their fangs are too short.

[SpardaDVLKing3]

@tacoismykitty Have you watched Mythbusters? They pretty much busted this myth.

[tacoismykitty]

@SpardaDVLKing3 i thought that they proved that they can't bite through our skin, not that they aren't venomous. I've seen several other sources saying that the daddy long leg is venomous also.

[DeManMetDeNinja]

@SpardaDVLKing3 wouldn't trust Mythbusters too much. sometimes they 'bust' a myth cuss they cant re-ennact it but in reality theyre just not seeing the simple truth. with Hellboy flipping car myth for example. they busted it cuss they couldnt get it to flip by dropping a block of concrete on the nose. none of them came up with the idea the force of HB's fist is applied to the car diagonally, not vertically. which would have made the myth 'confirmed'

[canihazbroccoliplz]

@SpardaDVLKing3

Mythbusters are the least reliable group to "bust" any urban myth. They claim to use scientific method to debunk myth, but they usually rely on speculation. And when things don't turn in their favor they always blow it up just because.

[LauritsR]

Awesome! :D

[DeafMuteZombie]

fuck i hate these bastards!

[WilliamWilliamww]

...its okay... i was not planning to sleap anyway...
