  1. Can you imagine having legs like that?! ;P Posted 5 years ago
    1. Is this from a lady wishing she had long slender legs? Or from an agile woman having nightmare visions of getting those long clumsy stilts all tangled up? ;o) Posted 5 years ago
      1. Haha! I was thinking from a short person's point of view as I'm only 5'1" (~1.55 m) tall. I can't imagine having such long legs! But, also I think about how clumsy I'd be trying to coordinate those long, stilt-like legs! Posted 5 years ago
        1. Yes, interpolating body-to-leg-length-ratio you would prolly be around 5m (16'6") with those legs on :-P Posted 5 years ago
          1. Whoa! Well, I'd finally be able to reach things without needing a step stool. Posted 5 years ago
            1. And then drop everything while bumping your legs around trying to sit down ;o) Posted 5 years ago
              1. For sure, lol :D Posted 5 years ago

''Opilio canestrinii'' is a species of harvestman. ''O. canestrinii'' probably originates from Italy, but has invaded central Europe since the late 1970 and has since almost everywhere replaced the similar ''O. parietinus''. It is most often found on house walls.
