That bug roams around at night when you're asleep, and it crawls up inside your penis through your pee hole, where it sets up shop in your balls and churns out billions of copies of itself. Nasty fuckers. Sometimes a ballectomy is the only cure, so keep a condom on at night to keep them out.

It's a house centipede. They're freaky but they actually kill spiders and other pests. They're also harmless, in my experience. Whenever I see one in my house I just pretend I don't see it because it gives me goosebumps and I get an overwhelming urge to kill it with fire.

They're fast little buggers. I generally see them at night as they charge across a floor. More often I find their molted exoskeletons in the basement. Since I almost never see them and they like to eat termites, ants, cockroaches, and silverfish I generally let them be

According to Google they are aggressive with a vicious bite and can inject poison from poison glands. They are able to spring 3 to 4 feet go for the veins in your neck.
Actually, it says they move very fast and are completely harmless. |

They control other pests. Eat spiders and what not. Wait till you see one take off across carpet and it looks like a mouse. |

house centipede Yeah, house centipede or as my fiance calls them "million leggers". Very common "house bugs" and perfectly harmless, if a little creepy looking. They can be quick. Also, they can detach their legs which will continue to quiver and move even after being detached. |

Keep everything as clean as you can, remove the prey and you'll have fewer of them. |

I see them around here from time to time. They look horrible, but I've never had one bite me or be aggressive. My mom is terrified of them and will literally scream if she sees one
 . We have 4 cats so hopefully they're keeping them under control. Probably not, though, they're all lazy.
