I’m in the living room working on my laptop, and I hear Robbie and Mike arguing in the background. I’m pretty much tuning it out until I hear “NO, a spider has 6 legs!” “NO, 8 legs!” And so on.
So I quickly type “how many legs do spiders have” into the search box and the answer is loading up right as I hear “Let’s go ask Mommy!” My reputation as the knower of all knowledge is safe for another day.
Oh, and by the way, the answer is 8. You’re welcome.

You didn’t really need to search for that answer did you?
Maybe it’s a guy thing and we already know (embedded into our DNA), but I thought everyone knew that :)

I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about spiders. 6, 8, 12… Best to go to the source.
I seriously wonder what life was like before the internet. How did anyone know anything?
I heart google. Although, even I, hater of all things creepy crawly, knew that spiders had 8 legs. ;)
Heh, I actually do that with my husband. He’s frustrated in thinking I know everything. Google and Wikipedia and beautiful things.
Ikk, I hate spiders but to stop an argument I would’ve done that too. Remember, kids need proof, it doesn’t matter these days that mom said it.
Our DVD player died…
And Google helped my husband with taking it apart…(To find out it is hopeless)
and then finding out through Google that there is a class action suit against Sony and our brand of DVD player…
Only through Google!!!
But can Googgle end the age ole debate if a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable???
Yay, Google! What would we do without Google?
(And yes, that’s why spiders are technically not insects, because true insects have only six legs.)
Try explaining why a daddy long legs isn’t technically a spider to a 3 year old.
Oy vey…
I love google. Imagine life without it now!
