Answer 1

That would be a centipede.  I had a crappy basement apartment for awhile in college and there was an old coal shute in the bathroom.  Those gnarley b******s would come crawling in.  I had this habit of shaking my towel and snapping it before I would dry off because of this, and one day my paranoia paid off as a I shook a 4 inch gnarly b*****d off my towel.  This may seem a bit sick, but Id kill them by burning their heads with a lighter, and then leave them on push pins at all my windows as a warning to the other bugs... made me feel better and it cured the boredom... also made for a great conversation piece.
