Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm still salty that I once lost a game of trivia because I said this myth was false, and the "official" answer said it was true.
Here you go, if it’s any comfort after the fact.
Nice.
Do you have a source that this claim is just a myth?
So you have a source that its true?
It was intended to be an example of a ridiculous "false fact" that went on to become widely believed.

Also, I can barely eat 6 spiders in one sitting.
Thanks for the link! Was an interesting read.
6 orders of spiders, maybe.
We've all made the embarrassing mistake of ordering 6 orders of spiders, thinking it was 6 individual spiders, and succumbing to a ego belly encumbered with as many as 36 spiders for sake of seeming ignorant of how spider restaurants work. And since it's usually a mistake made on nascent visits in unfamiliar cultural territory, we're already acting inured to the strangeness of eating raw spiders, so it's often a double-whammy.
And the worst part is that they charge extra for any leftovers, so you can't leave even a single leg unmasticated.
Sorry, the card says moops
Was their source the moops?
If it helps, I - a stranger - am absolutely livid on your behalf.
It does help, thank you.
Now you know why.
Darn Spiders Georg.
