Wikipedia says they can be as long as ten inches (25 CM), but I'm sure I've seem bigger ones than that.

Ever notice how a day that starts out as absolute crap continues to go downhill so very rapidly, with no Exit signs or Rewind button available?

Sigh ....

The watch my wife gave me two years ago has just decided to die (and of course it's about a month out of warranty), and a pair of dock shoes I have, have now decided to start to come apart.

This on top of the A/C having broken and who knows what else needs to be repaired.

Why does eBay let people use routing addresses, WHY?!

I am NOT shipping a $200 item just to be screwed over in a month's time.

I think I have seen one at about 30cm, that was the first one we had in the house. Early one morning just after Mrs headed for the bathroom I heard a shrill scream. She doesn't often scream so I figured it was serious. There was one of these in the handbasin, couldn't get out 'cos of slippery sides. I got it into a bucket and released it some way from the house but I saw one of a similar size dead a few days later, not in the same place, so I think the birds got it, though if they did they didn't eat it.

I'm quite glad we almost never see them.
