For the same reason that we have 2, and cats have 4, and fish have none. Besides, if they had 7 they'd be lopsided and would lollop rather than walk.

spiders need to move equally well to each side as well as forwards and backwards 8 legs allows them to do this.... see i can do serious :)

Why ducks stand on one leg? coz if they took it away they would fall over!!!

The old ones are the best!!

I wish spiders had no legs, so then I could stamp on them knowing that they couldn't scuttle off into another direction!!

they need two to cover their eyes when women take a run and jump to stamp on them.
two to steady them selves when theyre climbing out of the plug hole.
two to walk on and two to kick the ants with when they try to nick their dinner !
