Hmm I did not know how diverse the arachnid "genus"? was. I figured spiders were about it....man what ELSE don't I know???

whipscorpions, scorpions, tailless whipscorpions, solfugids, ticks and mites, spiders, tarantulas, harvestmen, etc

:?
Is this a poke at Arachnopets featuring a myriapod forum, or a poke at me assuming MrFeexit was referring to the D. variegatus and not the S. subspinipes pedeling?

STOP CONFUSING ME...are they both in the arachnid family or is one in a different family You guys are gonna clean up this mess if I have an anyurism

No confusion, everything Garth listed *except* myriapods are in Arachnida (although if some have their way, mites and ticks might not one of these days).

Myriapods are a larger group just like Arachnids. The myriapods are best known for centipedes and millipedes.

The tailless whip scorpion, which is what I figured you were referring to since it can appear they only have 6 legs, are true arachnids with 8 limbs (1st pair modified into the whips) and pincered pedipalps.

...

Somewhere I think that myriapod comment was supposed to be humor, but I'm still trying to find it

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, crow sure does taste good.

Personally, I think I was the victim of sexual discrimination. Keeping with the gender bias of our patriarchal society, Scott let the son choose the winner, and he picked you. But when the fair daughter chose a ticket, she chose ME.

Oh the irony.
