When I was about 11, I was home alone in the evening before my mom got home. I was laying on my stomach in front of the TV. Out of my peripheral vision I see this dark spot come from one side and in front of me-I look down ,and EEEK!!! I freak out, and realize it's a centipede!!!!! I get a shoe and smack it good a few times, and then get a kleenex (ok, 3!), and pick it up, then run as fast as I can to the bathroom to flush it. (Don't know why, it just makes me feel better-you never know, they MAY come back to life and crawl out of the garbage can!) Anyway so I calm down, and go back to watching TV. Then again I see something moving again, and I look down, and it's a few of the legs I missed when I picked up the body...they were still moving and twitching a few minutes later! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

The moral of the story is: IF YOU SMASH ONE OF THOSE UGLY SUCKERS, MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP ALL THE BODY PARTS!!!

There, Megan, that will make you feel better...
