"Up until 1987, the Giant house spider held the record as the fastest spider in the world. The record has since been awarded to a species of African Sun Spiders, which aren't actually spiders at all." I trust I don't need to point out what's wrong with that sentence.

This sentence needs to be fixed. Since the African Sun Spider is not a spider it must be another kind of spider that took the record. Either that or the Giant House Spider still has the record. --Godlesswanderer 22:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

The answer is that Guinness isn't a very good authority, and writes what they wanna write. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 17:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pacific northwest

Do we know when/how the spider got from Europe to the Pacific Northwest? Why hasn't it spread to the rest of North America? Drutt 02:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
