It doesn't matter how harmless these things may be. If something as ugly as that comes tearing towards my crotchial region, I'm lighting stuff on fire. I may not have a flame-thrower handy, but I'll find a way to set that damn thing ablaze.

Actually I looked up centipede on wikipedia and they may not be as harmless as I thought:

Some species of centipede can be hazardous to humans because of their bite. Although a bite to an adult human is usually very painful and may cause severe swelling, chills, fever, and weakness, it is unlikely to be fatal. Bites can be dangerous to small children and those with allergies to bee stings. The bite of larger centipedes can induce anaphylactic shock in such people. Smaller centipedes usually do not puncture human skin
