“but in Australia, and New Zealand, you can be fined $1000 for falsifying your census results”

~How can the government prove you are lying about your religion? Is it tattooed on your left buttock?

“it is not possible for us to test the toxicity of the spider because of international codes of ethics and amnesty international (for some bizarre reason)”

~The bizarre reason probably has something to do with it being unethical to inject poison/venom (whatever) into human beings and observe the effect. Not that AI has any legal standing to prevent it. And not that we don’t allow the government to inject deadly chemicals into certain people…in Texas, anyway…

jedi ‘IS’ a religion in the uk. 350,000 people entered it as their religion in 2001 for a bit of fun, and you only needed 10,000 to be counted as a religion.
theres no way on earth the british government would ever say that 350,000 were LYING about their religion lol thered be a riot, freedom of though/speech anyone?!

The Brown Recluse isn’t very “VENEMOUS” at all, my friend’s dad was bit by one and didn’t go to the hospital, I think it varies depending on your immune system though.

Note:Anything that injects a toxin by fang/claw or any pierce method is a venom, not a poison.

I heard the Walt Disney Story on here actually, I think it was on 10 hidden items in cartoons. The list itself was quite bad but look at about comment 54 that guy took the whole thing to another dimension (literally), read it and you’ll find out

This is the first time I have ever heard that daddy long legs were poisonous. I was always told they were harmless and had played with several as a child. That brown recluse stuff is true though. nasty little critters.

The closest movie to a snuff film is cannibal holocaust because they kill a couple monkeys, and even bash their brains in. It’s real because the filmmakers were arrested and sentenced to 3 years in prison. They also believed that they killed people but it was proven false.

How about the one that says that bubble gum contains spider eggs? I remember hearing that one as a kid.

The daddy longlegs (aka harvestman) is not a spider at all, but an arachnid.
In the UK, the term is sometimes used for the cranefly, which produces the leatherjackets that are the bane of many who care for lawns. It, obviously, is not a spider, either.

There are definitely tonnes of snuff films available online. Lots of arabic type executions in football stadiums and even some fatal accidents on YouTube. If you wanted to make a snuff film you could fairly easily put the clips together into a longer reel.

One of Bjork’s fans recorded himself committing suicide and somehow had it sent to her and she watched it. As implausible as it sounds it is true because I read about it in an interview with her discussing it and the aricle had a picture of the man on film [dark, angry and upset-looking] seconds before he blew his own brains out.

Maybe the reward for finding a snuff film is an urban myth itself?

Also Jedi is recognised as a religion in the UK with police officers forming a Jedi support group. This came out amid much furore about how hopeless our police officers are.
