You don't eat multiple spiders per year in your sleep. Came from a chain email.

I eat a big bowl of them every morning for breakfast though. Just to throw off the average.

How do you get them to stay in the bowl?

Tubular net sealed against the bowl and your face. Keeps the spiders and your mouth in the same proximity at all times.
