did you know that every year you eat 8 spiders while sleeping

In urban legends usually find a common factor: making a rational fear of people to build an illogical story. The most obvious example is the girl of the curve driving at night unaccompanied by a dark side road scary. And in that circumstance it is easily suggestible to think that after the next bend a 'not dead' is going to raise your car to give you a scare or a warning. Another more mundane but absolutely awful which legends have also been built on terror is what happens with our roommates during sleep. And no, not talking about the popular 'bedroom visitors' of which promise to talk later in this blog, we mean what about insects that roam our beds and rooms. There is a tremendously extended story online that mentions a study with a shocking fact: each year, eight spiders are introduced into our mouths while we sleep. It is logical that with this disgusting thing, and the dozen places which gives credibility to this story, many people have 'swallowed' the hoax. More in the summer months, when people go to their second home, either in town or on the coast, and is home to one of these 'monsters' of hairy legs.

Before revealing their origin see what he says. There is everything. One version says that throughout the year are entered in our mouth and swallow eight spiders unconsciously. Other more conservative 'study' says that eight along our life. Anyway the thing seems clear: our body (the mouth, more specifically) becomes the night shelter of such beings. Does it seem illogical? Do you believe it? Do you trust the source? Well maybe not counted; but this urban legend brings internet from succeeding in its global expansion. Let's add some logic to the matter. If you've ever tried to touch a spider (with a stick or any gadget) will be seen like this, according to note their presence, tries to flee. Most bugs do Is now imagine that at night an animal instinct for survival will want to get into a damp, warm place and do not stop moving? It will not, their instinct stops them. If still concerned, think of all the men who for centuries have slept in the open and have survived. If the body does not have 'repelled' these nocturnal assault had lasted little. Come on, that if a spider night approaches and attempts to introduce error in your mouth, you unconsciously set apart or you will wake up. As you raise and lower the duvet if you're hot or cold while you sleep or you turn around all the time.

The origin: Another legend? We must find the right question: Where did the story come from? All indications are that in 1993, in January, the journalist Lisa Holst wrote in an article Professional PC in order to demonstrate how easy it is to circulate false news and viral across the Internet (then email chains mail) and how people assumed things without thinking. So, in that course durable, he developed the story of spiders, according exposed, had read in a book of 1954. And we say so called because there is one detail that makes curious and convoluted this legend: the publication of the alleged article and life the journalist could be also lie. No trace was found of that publication, or other texts Lisa Holst, even the Book of 1954 it was indexed. We would to other more established internet hoax constructed from another hoax (and this has much of the blame popular website Snopes). And it seems that the legend
