"Eet iss Like a Q-tip het wissa frozen Spider Web Leggies"


Haven't we all pondered a bit about the insect commonly called "daddy longlegs"? I know I have. In the Midwest they were called "grand-daddy longlegs" but by the time I got to Maryland, these creatures had had their names shortened by a generation. But their legs remained as long.

I saw a video clip this morning in which this foreign guy goes on and on (and ON) about the creation and naming of daddy longlegs. A funny way to start a Monday. Check it out at Kevin deYoung's blog.
