Creepy Crawlies

The stuff my nightmares are made of.

As if my bug phobia wasn't bad enough, I had to see this in yesterday's news:



Yes, that's right... it's a nine-inch venomous centipede, scolopendra gigantea. NINE FREAKIN' INCHES. VENOMOUS. FORTY-TWO WRIGGLY LEGS. Kinda like Karl Rove. This monster apparently came from South America and ended up in a London apartment.

Is it just me, or does it look like the guy in the photo is about to take a big bite of it? "This is the newest delicacy in London. It's great with boiled cabbage."

This thing could probably eat small children. If it showed up in my house, I would go outside, lock the doors, set the place on fire, then move to another country. There's just no way I'd try to squish it. If I did, I'm sure it would end up crawling up my pant leg, delivering venom to places that are certainly in NO NEED OF ANY VENOM.

Shudder.

Oh my. You couldn't even step on that thing to kill it. It would probably pick you up, spin you around and give you a toss.

When I was in high school about 40000 years ago, I was sitting in study hall in the cafeteria and I saw a centipede prancing around on the floor and I was queasy for the rest of the day.
