I meant involuntarily eat, as in when you're asleep, or at least not already in the food. But it's seven spiders, not two. Better than a dozen! I have looked it up as how I know seven spiders. Voluntarily eat, you don't wanna know how many bugs you eat per year. Ick

crocus. In case you're wondering why I say crocus, it's because it takes so many to get the tiniest amount of saffron. but I was tempted to say wheat. Maybe even corn because corn is in everything. This post was edited by georgysmom on Mon, Apr 14, 14 at 15:39

I do have a strange sense of humor (and probably really lack social grace as well)......today's question looks a little familiar to me. My first post was hasty, as it was the first thing that came to mind. Rob's response was better than mine though!!!

Yup....agreeing with red and it was a no-brainer for me (former military). The stripes were set up as alternating colors (red/white) to represent the original 13 colonies. The flag has always been red/white/blue. I'd have to go back and look up flag history to confirm when the 13 stripes became the flag base but it's been around for at least 100 years....maybe early 1900s.
