heh, yep. People around here think I'm insane when I say things like, "in Canada we don't have snakes, scorpions, huge ants, or anything like that -- just bears, lynx, and cougars instead"
One of these suckers was crawling in my restroom and I don't even fucking know how it got in there. The bitch almost bit my neck since it was crawling on the wall when I leaned against it.
Bottom line I drowned it :zzwhip:
Where I came from in jamaica these things would be one of the scariest things you'd find. One bit my brother one day while we were sitting on the floor playing cards.. he didnt get medical attention or anything and he's fine.

would much prefer bears, lynx, and cougars to some crawly little fucker in my bed.
Now you would, but what about 2000 years ago going hunting and some mofo of a bear shows up and want to eat you. Then again, most of the places with these crawly fuckers had wild tigers or lions as well and snakes. I would hate to live in Australia with all their snakes and critters plus sharks and crocs.
Yep, exactly. People think it's crazy that I flip out when some 6 inch dragon fly (or whatever those things are) comes into the house, but yet, am totally fine to sleep outside in a tent while listening to coyotes howl all night.
If this were true I'd move to Canada immediately. Bugs ruin the whole fucking outdoors for me cause I actually love it in the woods, lakes, etc.. BUT WHY THE FUCK DO I NEED THINGS STINGING ME AND SUCKING MY BLOOD ALL THE FUCKING TIME OUT THERE?
I MEAN THE MOSQUITO.. WTF IS UP WITH THE GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING MOSQUITO?!?!?!?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. It ruins the whole fucking summer for me.
Anyway, I know it's not true though. You guys have massive amounts of biting blood sucking horse flies.. with swarms so large they kill wild horses (or was it buffalo.. cant remember). This shit is in Alaska too. I'm also pretty sure you have Mosquitos, spiders, etc. But ya, the further north you go the less you have to deal with hand-sized spiders, cockroaches, poisonous flying shit, etc. I'm pretty sure you're going to have house-centipedes as well which is what that picture is. I don't think they're poisonous.
I too prefer predatory animals to bugs.
Ok we do have annoying mosquitoes during summer. I give you that one. It seems they have grown to resist the mosquito repellent too. Me and my gf sprayed that shit all over us this week-end yet we still got bit multiple times.
Aside from mosquitoes though, there's nothing else. Sure there are bees, flies, wasps, ants and other "every day bugs", but they're all harmless for the most part.
I just can't picture myself living in Brazil or Australia where you can end up in the hospital because you forgot to shake your sandals before wearing them and your toes were welcomed by some juicy poisonous fangs.

Ya at least we can see the animal that's gonna kill us. None of this ninja snake BS
^that's a Centipede 2.0... look at its eyes, it's like the silver surfer of centipedes. I wouldn't mess with that one. It can probably take possession of your soul.
That's a house centipede and we have them all over Chicago. Scary looking and very, very quick. One ran down the neck of my shirt once. They don't seem to bite, but I still did a super-freak dance/yell and ripped off my shirt. It turns out they eat spiders so given the choice I think I prefer the centipede.
Also, one smack on this centipede and it's legs go flying every-which-way. Just twitching legs all over.

Yep. My basement is littered with spider corpses from all the fucking centipedes here. The centipedes somehow kill them while they are still in their web and suck all their insides out leaving only the shell. Pretty fucked up. I NEVER see any spiders in my house which is awesome but I don't think having some fucker with 10x the legs is any goddamn better. I usually end up killing at least one centipede ever other day in my house. Sometimes up to 3 in one day.
Nothing worse than see a fuckin centipede coming towards you while tripping. Still managed to stomp the shit outta that fucker though.
