A little girl was working in the garden with her father. She saw an arachnid and asked her father what it was. He said it was a Daddy-longlegs.
She watched as it moved over and mounted another arachnid. She asked her father what kind of bug it had just crawled on top of and he replied that it was another Daddy-longlegs.
The little girl raised her trowel and smashed both arachnids and said, "We're not going to have that crap going on in our garden,"

"The organs are remarkably similar to those in modern-day species of harvestmen."
Would the new scientist show us photos with the differences ?

"Preserved within a male is a penis two-thirds the length of his body," Wow. This takes Freud's penis envy to new lengths.

little has changed over the last 400 million years - at least for
daddy-long-legs
Don't let them kid you --
Everything's changed. Nowadays,
Madonna would star
with, say, Hugh Jackman,
and there'd be old genitals
all over the place...

And I thought that nude, backslapping geezer at my gym had the oldest set of genitals.

That headline sure gave me a scare. For a minute I thought the neighbors had their telephoto lens out again...

"Preserved within a male is a penis two-thirds the length of his body" I think I found my long-lost great, great grandfather.

How come they stopped evolving 400 million years ago? Did they make it to perfection? Is being a daddy-long-legs the top of the world?

Dubbed daddy-long-legs along with crane flies, harvestmen are not formally classified as spiders because they do not spin webs. Crane flies are not clasified as spiders not because they dont spin webs, but because they are insects not arachnids.

Yeah, but there is no excuse for the author confusing an insect(crane fly) with an arachnid(spiders, harvestmen, scorpions, etc.).
