Spiders in Litter Box?!?!? - Page 2

I dont think an average person eats a spider a month.
If there was a spider in my mouth while I would be sleeping I would most likely gag on it or the movement of it inside would wake me up.

Thank god the spider thing's not true.

Luci is like an ubercan of Raid in a fur coat. He kills bugs dead. Somehow, bees have started getting into the house (I'm going to check the walls for holes soon) and he jumps and runs all over the place going to get them. Then he smacks them a couple times, and eats the bee.

I keep telling him if he wants honey that badly he could just raid the cupboard, but, well...

Its a myth that you wilL consume that many in a month, but it is a fact that in an average LIFETIME a person will consume about 10 spiders in their sleep. Of course not the huge ones, but small ones that you don't feel. I read it in one of my Science books from college. Of course you will wake up if a giant harvest spider or something crawls into your mouth. But you cannot feel the ones that are as small as an ant.
Haven't you ever woke up to find a small spider on your bed or pillow before, I know I have a couple of times, and I don't think they have the brains to know "I better not go in that hole (mouth)" They manage to end up in my cats water bowl drowning, so they are not that smart, and will explore even in your mouth while you sleep. Rare, Yes! Impossible No!
