Augi - The daddy longlegs thing was actually covered by mythbusters as well, although with a slight variation (their myth stated that the daddy longlegs possess the most powerful poison known to man, but they aren't dangerous because their fangs aren't long enough to pierce human skin). They milked several daddy longlegs and tested the poison on mice, finding that the poison isn't the strongest out there by far (none of the mice were permanently damaged, for those concerned). They then tested the other half by having Adam put his arm in a tube filled with daddy longlegs and aggravating them until one bit him. He did receive a bite and suffered no ill effects because of it.
Let's see, useless trivia...
Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat using only the words listed in the average first grader's vocabulary at the time. Many of his works had similar themes. Green Eggs and Ham, for example, is written using less than 50 words.
