What slithered out of my laptop...
 

Opened up my laptop this morning and this cute little fella ran out, threw himself off the desk & tried to hide in the carpet

My blackberry doesn't take the best pics but as fellow Aussies may well know they're yellow & blue. They give you a painful nip also

I haven't seen one this big in "the city" though

anything with more than 4 legs and 6 nipples gets killed instantly (((ewwaugh a shivver)))

i second that ^^

definetly woulda murdered the little creepy crawler

u havent seen nothin!!
my shower is plagued with milipedes!! (and daddy-long-legs spiders)
little black suckers with ton of legs, there's about 10 of them in the shower basin every morning!

but a centepede in the lappy? that's a rare one:neutral:

Your in Queensland aren't you? Lotsa creepy crawly's up there.

eeeeeew,i thought i was a tough n all,but ida pissed myself,you aussies must live in the land that time forgot!--josh

I shivered at the thought of seeing something like that crawl out of my laptop. And it tried to hide?!?! That thing's huge!

Maybe it was trying to google.

They're relatively harmless when compared to funnel web spiders or brown snakes that live in the backyard, both high on the most venomous lists...

Most venomous snakes

Sydney spiders

There's other stuff as well but we don't worry about them as much

crawliez in your pooters surfin your webz:lol:

You guys have more critters on land and in the water that want to kill you than I care for.

lol, looks like the centipede from James and the Giant Peach animated movie. :smile:

I think the most dangerous insect we have around here is the Brown Recluse (Fiddleback) spider. Depending on a person's resistance, a bite can cause a simple puffed/red/itchy area around the bite (this is what happens to me) to a severe reaction where the tissue around the wound basically rots away. Very nasty. Generally not aggressive, but they do bite when cornered. And they like to hide in dark secluded areas (hence the name) like shoes, under bedsheets, clothing etc - pretty much anywhere an unsuspecting human would shove an unprotected body part.

I would imagine that creepy crawly was in your laptop because it was nice and warm. It probably got too warm with an active CPU to be comfortable so it decided to vacate. That'll teach you to use your laptop. :smile:

never going to australia.....

yall should see the crazy creepy crawlies we have in the land of the unknown lol

Or debug the hardware?

Haha that's a good one MetalMan.

Luckily we have nothing dangerous over here, only 1 venomous snake the Adder (its not venomous enough to kill an adult) and we killed all our wolves, bears and big cats long ago.

yuk...

nope...down in tasmania.
cold and wet most of the winter, but this global warming has already affected our weather down here...it never rains during summer any more...whereas it did all the time before...and we are getting regular 30*C days where it used to be 20*C:whip:

Err, the BOM data tells a slightly less drastic story

Attack of the killa Kanga...!!

Thought this story might appeal

Yeah, I saw that yesterday on the news; Kangeroos dont like their nap-time disturbed it would seem...

"Global Warming":slap:
a consensus of three maybe four scientist total ripping you off of all your money. I just don't buy into it. Uh what ended the ice age? Was it all of the dinosaurs driving suvs? nope.

-lol- i was just thinking the same thing.... sure, we may be contributing a little, but only towards the inevitable - it's just one of those things thats gonna happen whether we were here or not...

I live in QLD... it's actually not too bad around the Goldy for creepy crawlies... mainly we get huntsman/daddy longlegs spiders, cockroaches and geckos - all harmless.... I found Adelaide was the worst for around the garden and in dark holes etc - redback spiders EVERYWHERE!!!

I run a pot/homeware shop, and we get a crapload of water dragons and those millipedes (centipede - whatever one it is) around the place all the time - always under pots and stuff...
