Tora streamed Cool World recently, and we all kept calling this guy "Spiders Georg" because none of us heard his name. Also because he is an outlier and should not have been in this movie. His real name is Nails, and now I wish that Cool World was just a movie about him solving murders in a gritty toon town.

Yes, of course rve heard what the superstitious locals say: "Stay out of the mountains! There's no shelter on those harsh peaks, and every last combe and glen is infested with killer spiders!". They say there's no way to safely cross that mountain range anyone trying to rest high up on the peaks will die of exposure, lashed by cruel icy winds. Better that, though, than to risk seeking shelter in the forested vales The Crawling Death, they call t.Great glossy black eight-legged fiends some small enough to creep between the rings of your maille, some large as a splayed hand and quick as a cat, and some so they say the size of dogs. Or swine. Or cart-horses. The tales have been exaggerated in the telling, of course, since hardly anyone dares venture far into the gullies and ravines that lace between the majestic peaks (most certainly not at night, when the Crawling Death make their appearance, silent as a shadow). Even if they're not quite as large as people say, they're certainly no less deadly. The king's physicians, who had the unenviable task of tending to the survivors of the last failed expedition, wrote down in stomach- turning detail the precise symptoms of that merciless venom. Erupting blisters the size of a hen's egg. Flesh blackening, rotting, and sloughing away from the bone. Sweating, drooling, trembling, nausea, vomiting ranting and raving and spasming like a creature possessed until death seems like a mercy. Others were gripped with a pain unmatched by any wound of war, paired (curiousy) with an erection hard as any standing stone And yet, in spite of all this, m planning an expedition into the mountains It's true, I haven't the equipment with me to safely shelter from the bitter cold above the tree-line, out of the reach of skittering legs and poison- slick fangs. I have no blessing from the gods, and no miracle of alchemy intended to keep the Crawling Death at bay. What I do have, though, is a map. A map from a past age, a more enlightened age, where the cartographers had a decent understanding of the sciences, rather than the encyclopaedic knowledge of rumour and superstition that seems to be the requirement for a mapmaker these days. And from this map and the journals that I found with it - I have deduced one particularly salient fact, that I am convinced will allow me to make the journey through the supposedly arachnid-infested ravines in perfect safety The superstitious peasants might say every last one of those valleys is crawling with deadly poisonous creatures, but in fact, most of them are utterly empty and safe! However, my map has revealed the source of this rumour: Spiders Gorge, which contains over ten thousand spiders is an outlier adn should not have been counted

About

Spiders Georg is a fictional character that was created on Tumblr as a joke about a false statistic regarding the average number of spiders a person may consume each year. Originating in 2013, the character spread via memes over the following years as it began appearing on other platforms like Reddit and Facebook.

Origin

According to Snopes,^[8] a myth claiming that "the average person swallows eight spiders per year" originated from a 1954 collection of common misconceptions regarding insect folklore. In 1993, the claim was reprinted in an article written by columnist Lisa Holst in PC Professional, which contained a list of false statements mocking misinformation that had been circulating in a viral e-mail. The false factoid subsequently circulated widely across the Internet as truth. On January 9th, 2013, Tumblr user Max Lavergne^[1] submitted a blog post about the often-quoted factoid, asserting that people eating "three spiders a year" is actually a statistical error due to a man named "Spiders Georg" who consumes "over 10,000" of the arachnids each day.

Spread

On March 13th, 2013, the Spiders-Georg Tumblr^[5] blog was launched, featuring posts written from the perspective of the fictional spider-eating character. On May 16th, Tumblr^[3] user Jdniemand submitted a blog post arguing that Spiders Georg would actually have to eat "over fifty-seven million spiders per day" to cause the statistical error averaging to three spiders per person on the entire Earth. On June 15th, a Facebook^[4] page titled "Spiders Georg" was created, which highlighted a poster featuring actor Nicolas Cage as Spiders Georg paired with a camel spider (shown below).

On August 20th, Redditor brostrider quoted Lavergne's Tumblr post in the comment section of a submission to the /r/todayilearned^[7] subreddit. The following day, Lavergne^[6] highlighted a screenshot of the comment, which gathered upwards of 38,800 notes in the next year (shown below). On November 17th, The Daily Dot^[2] published an article about the fictional character's Internet popularity.
