    I just found a centipede type creature on the bathroom floor. How the hell did he get there? Bathroom is upstairs and all the windows are closed. What other monsters are lurking around the place?

    Yes, that's why they have so many legs. Great power in them once they put on their fins.

    I live on the third floor of an apartment block. Earthworms have made their way in! There's no stopping the invasion!

    With that many legs they are very competent swimmers.

    There's most likely a nest of them OP. They're 'herd animals'.
    I wouldn't move or kill it, or it'll send the nest into a frenzy.

    Is it true that the legs have suckers all along the sides, so they can stick together and becone one giant fin?

    Is it a centipede?

    Did you count it legs? Is it male or female?

    Spotted one of those out of the corner of my eye this morning while brushing my teeth. The fecker was dangling from the extractor fan thingy in the ceiling.

    Just wait until you are in bed with the light out...........then something runs up your leg.

    or across your face!

    There were hundreds of legs and I think it may have been hermaphrodite!

    Looks like you are already up so! :P

    Seriously, just as you are about to drift of to sleepy, snoozy snooze land...

    BAM

    Something with 50 legs, 12 eyes, 8 arses and 3 mouths will drag itself across your face....guaranteed.

    Damsel in distress?

    You found a centipede thing in your bathroom. Will I call an adult?

    They drop off the trees and land in your hair, then snuggle up close to you while you sleep. Think I'm kidding? Set your alarm clock for 3.12am some day and see what runs off your bed.
