Eating a spider is yucky, but I think I'm more concerned about the 40,000 people who get injured by toilets every year. What on earth is up with that? 
And...how is it physically possible to NOT have a belly button??? |
| That one confused me too. But wasn't Alfred a man of mystery anyways??? |
Obviously Alfred Hitchcock was an alien or a robot  |
What are you Americans doing on the toilet?  |
 |
| That's weird because on the discovery channel, I remember hearing that a person eats on AVERAGE 6 spiders in their sleep. |
| Oh, goody! |
| protein is protein |

Well it's certainly not a vegetable! LOL |
| well, eggs techinecally arent meat...but are protein....what catagoryWOULD an anthropod fall under? |
| Arthropods like crabs, lobsters, spiders would be classified
delicious with melted butter! Shellie |
| so what classification is a spider? |
I HATE SPIDERS 
Have to ask too, what's with the Toilets in America?  |
| couldnt tell ya Lis.....so far my toilet has behaved...hasnt bitten my behind yet..... |
| Ok..a couple comments: Toilets...I have personally fallen in during the night when Tony has left the seat up. And, I suspect, its quite possible for a toilet seat to fall on a man's "manhood"...if ya know what I mean! Spiders...HA HA vegetarians! They gotcha! |
|
I'm never going to sleep again. |
| Ok, I don't care who says otherwise, Alfred Hitchcock had a bellybutton, at least when he was born. |
| Arachnid.
Just like.... TICKS! Wanna see a picture of my belly button and the tick bite TOGETHER? |
| Actually, they aren't all true. I'm calling shennanigans!

I think the toilet attacks mostly the male species. One got a hold of my son when he first started potty training. Thank God it was a light weight foam seat! 
The thought of swallowing a spider while asleep is bad enough, but my first thought, vision actually, was the "spider with a face." YUCK! mouthypf (Pam) |
| "However, there may be one eyewitness description of Sir Alfred’s tummy, missing its belly button due to surgery. The quote is from the actress Karen Black, whom Hitch directed in his final film, Family Plot in 1976. It is said to have appeared in the liberal monthly humor review, The Funny Times. In a story by humorist Jon Winokur, Black says Hitchcock “pulled up his shirt to show me his belly button – which he didn’t have. He’d had an operation and when they sewed him up, they took it away. His belly button was gone!” See? No belly button  |
| Lol. Or...
Quote: On his Web site devoted to Hitchcock, Patricio Lopez-Guzmán says he gets the question all the time. “Apparently Hitchcock had several operations in the belly area leading his doctors to sew up the [belly button], but I have never read this from a credible printed source. I suspect it’s [a] bizarre urban legend.” |

Just like.... TICKS! Wanna see a picture of my belly button and the tick bite TOGETHER? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!! |
| I have to tell this story now:
This summer my husband was redoing the tile in our house. He was taking out the toilet to get the tile under it and part of the back that holds up the tank sheared off and sliced the top of his finger off. It bleed like crazy for days and was really horrible. So Ha, I know 1 of the 40,000 injured by a toilet this year! |
| I knew that the myth that houseflys only live 24 hrs was untrue.
This proves it!! I knew there were flies in here older than that. Also I had a fly get into my car and I swear he was there for 3 weeks. As for the toilets. In my drinking days I had fallen between the toilet and shower a few times in my bathroom. Also fell in...when someone of the male persuation left the seat up. |
| And I knew the sneezing thing was not true. I have HORRIBLE allergies, so there's no way I'd be alive if it was true...try like 50 sneezes in a row...50 missed heartbeats? I don't think so. |
| Man, you guys are just sticklers for the truth!!!! |
| Spider, bugs, beetles are all arthropods.....
Phylum: Arthropoda Then there are 5 Classes: Arachnida (spider), Chilopida (centiped), Diplopoda (miliped), Crustae (LUNCH! shrimp, etc), the Insecta. Insects is further divided into: beetles (Coleoptera); flies and mosquitoes (Diptera); moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera); bees, wasps, ants (Hymenoptera); true bugs (Hemiptera); leafhoppers aphids (Homoptera); grasshoppers cockroaches, preying mantids (Orthoptera); lacewings (Neuroptera); dragonflies (Odonata); and termites (Isoptera) Notice the prefix on each insect order. If you know your Latin it will help ID what order you are in. For example if the insect you have captured in a jar only has two wings (di-ptera) it is a fly or mosquito. Cole-ptera have their outer wings as "sheaths) or cole....weevils and beetles (that hard outer hinged sheath are actually hardened wings. Hymen-ptera have "membrane" like wings....bees and ants. Class dismissed. No test. |

What? no test?! and this is one I would have aced - just my luck Shellie |
