oh sorry about that... forgot that the two "arms" are actually legs... :P

well aren't mantises not spiders but bugs? because spiders are arachnids

well, I think you mean arachnids, but no, they're not arachnids because arachnids have 8 legs, they're insects. me, on my infinite derpiness =P forgot that the two claw like appendages used for snatching pray also count as legs. It was never a question about whether or not they were arachnids, because the only have 6 legs. =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P

you'll find that if you excuse my confusing grammar we are agreeing with each other. =)

...there are no grammatical errors that I see in your original reply (besides it missing punctiuation).

I mean my confusing syntax, not my grammar...

BUT I can blame me studying such fabulous latin phrases which, when translated literally look like this: Marcus, himself to have been made busy, bade Quintus goodbye. AND "to be going to have", which when put back into latin is one word.

huh. appropinquabamusque. "and we were approaching"

hey im only in latin 3 have pity

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! sorry, can't tell if your being sarcastic. I'm in introduction to Latin (grades 7&8 at my school) =P

really? I am in third year latin (as a freshman) and I have never seen a word as convoluted as approprinquabamusque... lol
