Spiders Georg

(

)

... that "'average person eats 3 spiders a year' factoid actualy just statistical error"? This might make a good quirky hook.^(?) Source: Baker-Whitelaw 2013, citing Mikelson 2001

- Comment: Okay, I know we usually frown upon regurgitating meme references as DYK hooks, but in this case, the hook is actually 1. verifiably true and 2. pertinent to the story as a fact. So, if some leniency could be applied to put this in the quirky slot, I'd be grateful :)
