Daddy Long legs are very deadly. There was an elderly couple in my area a few years ago that was found dead one day. they both had a cup of coffee in frount of them. The spider had gotten into there coffee pot and brewed with there coffee. When they took a drink of there coffee they died instently. But Granddaddy long legs can not bit you.
Do you have proof of this or is it hear say? If it was a couple of years ago it should be well documented.
Such as

And the Irukandji jellyfish is considered the deadliest.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irukandji_jellyfish
it is a member of the box jellyfish family
I heard somewhere that if you eat one it'll kill you, but they can't piece your skin with their fangs. Don't quote that as gospel though, try checking out a wikipedia entry on it.
Might be good to note that what some people call a daddy long legs is not always the real thing- a crane fly looks like a daddy long legs, only it has 6 legs and wings (so it's just an insect), and the harvestman (which is a member of the arachnid family, but is not actually a spider).
They are NOT deadly. The name Daddy Long Legs refers to 3 different species. The true spider has very weak poison that produces at worst a mild short term burning sensation. One is also called a harvestman and is neither poisonous nor a true spider, but it looks like a very long-legged one.
MYTHBUSTERS on the Discovery Channel covered this myth during their first year.
Then, if the Daddy Long Legs is not a spider what is it classified? Why is it not considered a spiderd. Now I have heard they live underground, how do they get there?
In the animal class Arachnida, there are several lower level divisions called Orders. Scorpions are in the Order Scorpiones, spiders are in the Order Araneae, ticks and mites are in the Order Acari.
The creatures most correctly called daddy-longlegs are in their own separate Order which is Opiliones.
