Oh yeah, about the daddy long legs thing. There's a show called mythbusters here in the US on the Discovery channel. They basically just, well, bust myths. They put the daddy long legs thing to the test and they weren't very poisonous at all, just a myth. Then again, like djs said, it may be a different species than in America. Australia needs to have a slogan sort of like Texas does on their travel guide commercials. "Everything's bigger in Texas" Except Australia could say "Everything's more deadly in Australia"
I once seen sumthin on the discovery channel about a toddler whom was bitten by the funnel web spider and lived, just lookin at those things make me wanna piss my pants glad i live here in the states instead, i can live with the recluse and the blk widow cause they arrent aggressive like some other spiders, its even been said that brown recluse bites are kinda rare cause it prefers to stay hidden but will attack when it feels threatend, same for the blk widow i believe , Oh and deadcat just cause u stay indoors and make back-ups all day dosent make u 100% secure , i was bitten right here in front of my good ol computer, But now i check underneath my keyboard drawer cause thats were the little fart knocker made is nestin place at.
i was joking about that, i work in the desert on a mine site (snakes in back yard a fair bit) My gf went to finland and was worried about getting eatin by bears and what ever they have over there. All the finns were going "but dont you live with spiders and snakes???we dont have any of those, bears are harmless compared to those"....give me spiders any day
