how bad is the venom, what if i got bitten by one? instantaneous death of a bat? that's pretty creepy. if it weren't for the venom the bat, wings are pretty damn powerful. look at birds, thei rwings have incredible muscle on them...

Centipede venom isn't fatal to humans but very painful, IIRC.

some Australian Centipedes are extremely venomous and can be fatal

See, if I ever saw one of those in person, I would most likely be crying like a little girl, and standing on the tallest object I can find in a feeble attempt to escape it.

You would not be alone! :eek:

Goddamnit, I had a dream about these things last night. The fvcker kept chasing me, and nothing would kill it. Then I finally got a shotgun and blasted the fvcker away.
