    Ewww.. I hate centipedes.. In Co. we get "desert" centipedes... They're huge, brown and have lots of legs... Not to mention poisonous. Everything out here is poisonous!

    That's just a small one. When I googled it there were pictures of centipedes as big as my arm! :eek: :eek:

    I'm not one of those girly girls that's afraid of bugs, but I have to admit that centipedes are not on my fav list. That's just nasty.

    I'm so not a girlie girl either.. but centipedes (the big ones) and spiders (the big ones with visible hair and eyes) just make me go weak! I hate them things.

    Ahhh! Okay, that scene is just wrong. When that huge centipede climbs up her hair. Ew! Just thinking about it is making me itchy.

    Spiders I like. Actually, I want a pet tarantula one day, if hubby can every get over his fear.

    I guess anything with over 8 legs is just wrong in my opinion. Eight legs and under is fine. ;)

    There's just something about centipedes that makes my skin crawl. We have them here, but they're tiny. Once in a while they get into the house and I have to say that I kill them deader than dead. Not a fan.

    See now, if I were that woman, well first off, I wouldn't be there at all, but I would say to Indiana, "look, you are hot, and I was hoping to get some, but this is just not worth it!" haha

    LMAO! Ditto! As I recall she did have issues with the bugs and putting her hand in the goo to release the trigger. Can't blame her, I would have just left, after all, she hadn't known him that long, she wouldn't have missed him all that much. ;)

    Closest thing I have seen here is a millipede, we get them quite a bit in the warmer months, the dogs love playing with them... they touch them with their nose and do this crazy sneeze while shaking their heads while the milipedes curl up in a ball :eek:

    Millipedes, centipedes, Belch. I was going to take a nap, now I think I will go shower and vacuum.

    What's the difference between millipedes and centipedes?

    I think it's the number of legs Bella.

    I don't want to Google it, it was bad enough the first time. ;)
