According to the Spiders Georg meme, Georg eats over 10,000 spiders each day.
Spiders Georg is a fictional character from a 2013 Tumblr joke about the false claim that the average person eats or swallows several spiders per year. The meme pretends that the supposed average is a statistical mistake caused by one extreme outlier: Spiders Georg, who lives in a cave and consumes more than 10,000 spiders daily.
The number is deliberately absurd, not a scientific measurement or a claim about a real person. The joke’s misspellings and grammatical errors are part of the original meme format and are frequently preserved in reposts and adaptations.
The underlying spider-swallowing statistic is an urban legend. It has appeared in several versions, including claims about three or eight spiders per year, but there is no credible evidence that people routinely swallow spiders while sleeping. The meme’s real subject is statistical reasoning: an outlier can distort an average, although the fictional calculation is intentionally comic rather than mathematically sound.
The original post was associated with Tumblr user Max Lavergne and spread widely during 2013 and 2014, inspiring many “Georg” variations about unrelated statistics and habits.
