Well, to make a long story short, Billy Joel is Jewish! Since Billy Joel's mother is Jewish, and in Judaism one's religion is based on one's mother's religion, then that makes him also Jewish.
Bird-eating spider redirects here. Bird-eating spider may also refer to Eastern tarantula. The Goliath birdeater spider (Theraphosa blondi) belongs to the tarantula family Theraphosidae. Found in northern South America, it is the largest spider in the world by mass and size, but it is second to the giant huntsman spider by leg-span.
While the Goliath birdeater is definitely the world's largest spider by weight, it is the Giant Huntsman spider that takes the award for being the largest by diameter. The lanky arachnids have a leg span of up to 12-inches (30 centimeters) or as some people describe it the size of a dinner plate.
