Ewwww
I was greeted by a HUGE Scutigera coleoptrata (centipede) in the laundry room this morning, when I went down to feed the Felis silvestris domesticus (furry monster roommates) and retrieve some laundry before work.
Good thing the monsters were running at my heels hoping for food. Peanut pounced on it, dispatched it with one swat, and then batted it around before losing interest (i.e. I filled his dish with kibble). The thing was absolutely enormous - a couple of inches long. Did you know they can live for up to 6 YEARS? Neither did I. Ick... I think it was from my sump pump.
Oh my god.
I may never come back your blog again. Or at least not while that THING is up on your page.
I can't tell you how much those bugs creep me out. I can't get the creepy crawlies off my skin now.
:P
(Yes, I know, childish to stick my tongue out at you, but I can't very well end with the traditional smiley face after this comment, now can I?)
