Woke up to the sounds of screams two mornings ago...Missus surprised a foot-long centipede in the kitchen...I had to get dressed, so her sister, who was staying the night downstairs, responded first, and clubbed the bstrd's head flat..
Yesterday morning, next door neighbour, who gets up early every morning (4:00am), wandered into the bathroom and stepped on one the same size...
It showed no mercy...struck him 3 times before he "woke up"...But he's a tough old guy (Thai Vietnam vet)...When I saw him later, he had his lower leg clamped in a tourniquet, waiting for his ride to the hospital...more embarrassed than anything...
But these are wicked looking fckers...especially when they are large...and apparently the bite is quite painful...
