Why is the list of genera a separate page? WormRunner 01:47, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It would be nice to see information about location of these creatures, as well as a picture. Big Dave Smith 21 April 2005

[edit] Trivia

• A tailless whip scorpion makes an appearance in the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as the creature Mad-Eye Moody demonstrates the Unforgivable Curses on. In the book it is a spider.

• It also appears to be the organism consumed on the 10/19/2005 episode of Fear Factor and referred to on the program as an African cave-dwelling spider.

This is clearly drivel of no importance whatsoever to the article and has therefore been removed. I'm putting it here because at least one person thinks it should be kept. --Stemonitis 10:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Calling it drivel doesn't make it drivel. WP:IDONTLIKEIT isn't a reason for removal.

The statements answer the question, "Where might I have seen a tailless whip scorpion before?" Most people are unlikely to ever encounter a tailless whip scorpion in their travels. It is useful to point them somewhere they might have seen one before. Lunch 15:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
