I once knew a guy who didn't put his coins in order. You know the trivia that average person swallows 8 spiders per year? It was this guy. He would sit at home and eat spiders all the time. Just spoonful after spoonful of spiders for every meal. 60 billion spiders each year. That's were this statistics comes from. No idea if the coin thing was related. Completely normal guy otherwise.

    The spider thing was a hoax. I do love the idea that its an outlier driven statistic though. Like average net worth.

    Yeah, a hoax made up by Big Fly to have us humans kill all the spiders out of fear, serving the flies interests. But no more!

    I lost contact with him when I moved to another country so I don't know if it's still true but it was definitely true between 2008 and 2015. No idea when he started doing it. He did mention something about it 'being his turn' so it's possible other people did it before him as well.
