Is it true that granddaddy long-leg spiders are the most venomous in the world?

They just have no way to bite anyone. Someone once told me this and I find it hard to believe.

    They can actually bite, they just usually choose not to or are unable to get a "good grip" They are not deadly to humans and do not cause much pain or reaction when biting.

    I don't know if they can bite but they're not venomous. At least that's what I've always been told.

    Yes, they are the most venoumous spider, but their mouths are too small to acutally bite or penetrate human skin. If they bit you, you would die within minutes.

    It is true, they are one of the most deadly spiders, but their fangs are not long enough to penetrate human skin.

    They are not venomous at all. There are many that are, such as the Brown Recluse.
