Gah! One of the world’s largest and deadliest centipedes was found crawling around a house in North London. Now, how could it end up there? Maybe there are more! Probably someone’s escaped pet?
Any chance the house belongs to or was being resided in by a Mr. Bond… James Bond? I hear this kind of stuff happens to him all the time.
How did it get off that kid’s head?
Or who in North London is using the kid’s head as a house?
Auuugh!! :eek:
Millipedes are fine, but centipedes make me cry.
Yaack! One should expect to be safe from this sort of creature in England.
Holy crap that thing is giving me the creeps. 9 inches long! :eek: :eek: :eek:
I must learn to stop opening bug threads.
I like spiders. I like scorpions. I used to have both an emperor scorpion and a tarantula as pets, and no had qualms about picking them up and handling them. Millipedes are okay, too. But centipedes…gah!
So I pissed myself and ran screaming like little girl!
:: shudder :: :eek:
{{Cuuuuuute.}}
there’s one in every crowd … 
but, seriously, if i ever find one in my apartment will you come get it and rescue me ?
Like a friggin’ stomach pump!
Poor little centipede taking a well-earned vacation, and look what happens! I suppose it serves him right for skimping on hotel accomodations.
In my house it would have met the same fate as other invertabrates. A snatch with a paper towel and a one-way ticket to the septic system. Taking a bug to a museum would’ve been the last thing on my mind.
. Kinky.
But seriously, you’d pick up a 9-inch-long, 1-inch-wide (WITHOUT LEGS!) centipede with a paper towel? And if you flushed or attempted to flush it down the toilet, you’d ever sit on the toilet again?
Yeah, that centipede could be waiting right under the toilet seat for you to sit down. It could let go with one end and swing just like George of the Jungle onto your ballsac and then where would you be?
lieu, you live for these threads, don’t you?
At least it wasn’t a nine inch long silverfish, that’s all I got.
Silverfish are harmless, stupid, and easy to kill. I find them in my house from time to time, but they don’t bother me at all. The big-ass flying cock-a-roaches (AKA palmetto bugs), the angry wasps that build nests outside, and the large brown scuttling spiders bother me. Giant centipedes and tarantulas might force me to move.
