  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Fuck you Snopes... how can I trust you to be the bastion of all truth if even this is unverifiable?

DAMN YOOOOOUUUU!

I want that creeper wallpaper.

That leads back to back to "argument from authority" or as I like to call it, "how much of a skeptic can I really afford to be given the energy I want to put into it?"

Another reason it is fake:

The source book where the myth originated from in 1954, has no mention of mouth, swallow, or anything related to this myth. In fact, the author of the insect book clearly labels spiders as not insects.

So the snopes about a spider myth is debunked with its own urban legend debunking.
