Haz Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well, it may prove your point, but it entirely misses the irony which the statement would usually serve. So that kind of defeats the point really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Never hold your nose and cover your mouth when sneezing, as it can blow out your eyeballs. Centuries ago, purchasing real estate often required having one or more limbs amputated in order to prevent the purchaser from running away to avoid repayment of the loan. Hence an expensive purchase was said to cost "an arm and a leg." Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.

Tomm Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 The thing about Daddy Long Legs is that they've got a really toxic venom but they have no way of administering it. But apparently that's not true anyway. Oh, a Daddy Long Legs isn't a spider, it's an insect* Unless you're not English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
