      How the f*ck can that ever happen?

      What -- a spider crawls into your mouth?

        Yes (seriously).

        Where do lots of spiders like to live?

        Warm, moist places...

          You're joking though, right?

            That's gross.

            Well I'm not sure but this is what I recall of hearing, that in the US there are 18 trampolene accidents every day that require some doctors help.

            Average man changes his position while sleeping 30 times a night.

              No, I'm not.
              Have you heard how much insect remains there is mixed in the average jar of peanut butter?

                I think survival instincts would tell a spider that it's not good to crawl into someone else's mouth.

                And I thought that spiders prefer dry places, anyway.

                    One of the most widely-circulated bits of misinformation to be found on the internet.

                      Since I don't want another nightmare about a spider in my bed tonight, or a swarm of ants in my bed, as I had one recently, I will NOT click on that link.

                        This is what it says, you big baby :

                        Claim: The average person swallows eight spiders per year.
                        Status: False.

                        Origins: Oh, yuk!
                        It's hard enough to avoid those horrible wriggly things while we're awake, and now we have to worry that they're crawling into our mouths while we sleep? Little Miss Muffett was a piker.

                        Fear not. This "statistic" was not only made up out of whole cloth, it was invented as an example of the absurd things people will believe simply because they come across them on the Internet.

                        In a 1993 PC Professional article, columnist Lisa Holst wrote about the ubiquitous lists of "facts" that were circulating via e-mail and how readily they were accepted as truthful by gullible recipients. To demonstrate her point, Holst offered her own made-up list of equally ridiculous "facts," among which was the statistic cited above about the average person's swallowing eight spiders per year, which she took from a collection of common misbeliefs printed in a 1954 book on insect folklore. In a delicious irony, Holst's propagation of this false "fact" has spurred it into becoming one of the most widely-circulated bits of misinformation to be found on the Internet.

                              That may be true, but the amount of insects that is allowed in "food" is crazy!
