The Dispute About the Spiders

I was at the local bar last night, and the question arose about whether scorpions were spiders or insects. The question expanded to whether tarantulas were spiders or insects. I claimed that both were spiders. The dispute swept across the bar with everyone weighing in on the issue. I bet a quarter with a learned friend on the tarantula issue.

This morning, after looking it up, we agree that both scorpions and tarantulas are spiders, this is, arachnids.

I love a good dispute at the local bar.
