I'm scared now.

[me!]

whoa, that's awesome! i've never seen one like that before.

squash it, man.

[krispy]

I see them in my house all the time. They are kinda creepy to see running around in the basement, even more creepy to see scatter past the television during the night. They live in damp areas and rarely will they actually look to bite you. I don't think they have any poison in them, but I'd like to know myself ;) Believe it or not, they are actually beneficial in some ways as they eat smaller insects.

[synaptech]

yeah they like dark places, kinda damp, like when you drop your clothes by the bed! I've even seen them climb walls.

[Wildfire]

That's a house centipede (very common) they are disgusting cause when you squish em, their legs tremble like crazy even if they are detached from the body.

[MizTEcK]

and their LEGS still move even if they're broken off

It'd be more creditable if you said it ate your camera so you had to google it instead. still doesn't change the fact that you are lying, or just whoring for attention

Last summer I caught a centipede, big ass spider, and cricket in my basement (where my room is) and stuck them all in a bottle together and watched them fight to the death. It was pretty funny. At first they did want to do anything and just stuck to the sides of the bottle, but then I shaked the bottle and got them together and it began. :cheesygri at the end I put some alcohol wipes in and the slowed right down.

[mochachicka]

nope never...maybe I'm not looking hard enough? Hope that's not the case! *shudder* This thread is giving me goosebumps!

[krispy]

I've seen them for years so I've gotten pretty used to it but I'd still like to find out where they are coming from. They are pretty tough too, standard bug spray does nothing to them.

50 grand my friend...fear factor....a whole glass of em...would you?

[CSR]

Those are some ugly MF's

[RVachon]

Yea I see those things all the time. I heard my wife scream the other day because their was one in the bathroom sink, but she loves everything and didn't want me to kill it so I put my hand beside it and it started crawling up my arm..felt kinda neat actually. I just went outside ans brushed it off. Not sure if they bite or not, but it didn't bite me. I usually see them 4-5 times during the summer in the office also.

WTF? Is that a centipede? That's freaky!

[ShoppersDrugMarket]

Chop off half his legs on one side of his body. i heard it will run/walk in circles.

ya those ARE nasty, i remember them, luckily i dun see them no more.

[DJ_Peanuts22]

u kno by the time this thread ends, that bug is long gone and crawling around ur house somewhere multiplying by the minute

[JLee]

i just caught one of these things @_@
scared the **** out of me

[ainsane]

Do what I do.... slam it with an old magazine... then run away screaming like a little girl! ;)

[Carpe Diem]

Yeah, those things are super fast. They can grow to be pretty big too. I'd rather deal with little insects and small bugs then deal with those things. Even spiders would be a better choice. If anyone has a good solution in dealing with these things, I'd like to know.

[kingfencer]

yeah, they are in the basement at my house. One time i saw one in the bathroom while i was taking a crap... i started rolling up toilet paper and chucking it.
