~I'll go with the Guinness Book of World Records - just something prophetic about it. Either that or The Caterpillar Book. We have 3 libraries in our community but only one copy of the Bible between the 3 of them. Maybe the others have been stolen!

I meant involuntarily eat, as in when you're asleep, or at least not already in the food. But it's seven spiders, not two. Better than a dozen! I have looked it up as how I know seven spiders. Voluntarily eat, you don't wanna know how many bugs you eat per year. Ick

Yup....agreeing with red and it was a no-brainer for me (former military). The stripes were set up as alternating colors (red/white) to represent the original 13 colonies. The flag has always been red/white/blue. I'd have to go back and look up flag history to confirm when the 13 stripes became the flag base but it's been around for at least 100 years....maybe early 1900s.
