When I scuba dive and I am 30 meters under the surface of the ocean, I am reasonably certain that I am beyond six feet of any spiders.

Blackblade, crabs are sort of like spiders of the sea (except not really.) So maybe Blayne is counting them.

quote:really, both statements are completely untrue.
Well, the "eating spiders" statement seems like a wannabe piling on statement, so I'm ok with rejecting that. And I'm perfectly ok with rejecting an absolute statement such as "you're NEVER more than 6 feet from a spider."
And I'm also perfectly ok with rejecting an absolute statement such as "both statements are COMPLETELY untrue," especially if "never" has been changed to "rarely."
There really are a lot of spiders out there, and if you know where to look, most of the time you can find some within 6 feet of where you are, in normally habitable space.
