Who Is Legend?

What Has 8 Legs on the Earth?


I saw an interesting person in the dream last night, since I am not an Ah-Q.

It was not however Jesus Christ.

It was neither President Mr. Barack Obama nor Mr. Ichiro Ozawa.

By the way, Spiders (Kumo in Japanese) are not a kind of insects (Konchu in Japanese).

The spider is an animal that belongs to a different group from that of insects. It has eight legs though every insect has six legs.

Insects are closer to centipedes and ordinary crabs and lobsters than to spiders.

Spiders are closer to scorpions, helmet crabs, and extinct trilobites than to insects, since helmet crabs are very different from ordinary crabs.

Yet, there is a mystery about spiders: How did they evolve from a common ancestor with extinct primeval trilobites (Sanyochu in Japanese) since 600 million years ago?  

Most importantly, spiders and insects are the first animals that started to live on the land leaving the sea. They landed 410 million years ago earlier than amphibian animals which evolved into mankind finally.

Before dinosaurs started to dominate 200 million years ago, spiders and inspects had already thrived on the earth.

Anyway tonight, I will see "I am legend" on TV but not "Spider-Man," probably, since I am not an Ah-Q.
