OH GOD WHAT IS THIS

So I'm packing up my dorm so I can move out and I see this weird...thing. I can't tell if it's a bug or a piece of a plant or what but it looks disgusting and I've never seen anything like it before. Normally I don't freak out over bugs unless there's a ton of them, but if it's something I don't recognize then I do the whole squealing and standing on the table thing like you see in a 50s cartoon. I'll spray it with something, run away, and ask someone else to pick it up. I'M SCARED SOMEONE COME IN HERE AND GET RID OF IT.

Topic: Horrible discoveries you made while packing/cleaning something.

When I came back after winter break, my dorm's fridge had the most disgusting mold in it ever. I put a towel down and everything and let it defrost over two day and the whole nine yards before leaving, so I thought it'd be OK, but it was just.... vile. Black mold everywhere. I had to run to CVS and buy huge rubber gloves and super strong cleaner and clean it for like, two hours. XDD

Jess, you should have taken a picture so we can all see.

I'd probably react the same way because I would hate seeing something and thinking "WTF is that!?"

I remember one time I was cleaning up at work (I work at a Cricket ground) and I found a sandwich hidden. At first I thought it was normal wholemeal sandwich. But it dawned on me, that we hadn't used that work area in a month(Test match cricket happens about once a month where I work). The sandwich was actually supposed to be white bread but it moulded so much that it looked like wholemeal bread with green and blue fuzzy patches! I almost puked!

Somebody tell me what the smurf this thing is because I am not going near it until I know.

...whatever it is, it looks nasty!

Guys this thing has been under my bed with a bunch of random stuff and the bags I'm using to pack my things. I haven't touched any of those things since August. What if there is more and not all of them are dead.

It looks like half millipede, half SCORPION! Its stinger looks evil.

Oh my, that thing is disgusting. Maybe it's a millipede, but I really don't know. o.o

Find a stick and poke it. Hard.

I looked up pictures of millipedes and nothing looked quite like it. If it's a millipede it's been dead for months or something!

That looks horrible, I understand why you're scared :whaaa:

Fujiko to the rescue! It is a centipede.

EWWWW! That's nasty! It looks like it could be a number of things. It looks a bit like a centipede (or milipede, I don't quite know the difference) or it could be, like you said Jess, some kind of plant thing. It also lookes like a frayed, braided piece of string or something. I have no idea what it is, but just please don't leave that in the room with you while you sleep. I know I wouldn't!

Edit: It looks like I was a bit late replying. You discovered what it was before me :(

Anyway, on the topic of horrible discoveries that has nothing to do with cleaning or packing or moving into a dorm! :D

One time, I found out that the toilet in the bathroom near the garage at my home doesn't flush properly when it reeked in the bathroom and I couldn't flush the toilet. I was all. "WTF it smells horrible." So I had to fill buckets of water and manually flush the toilet with the extra water. D:< It was unpleasant I tell you.

Find the anti derivative of (x⁹ - 12x⁸ + 14x⁷ + 2x⁶ - 5x⁵ +12x⁴ + 13x³ -144x² + 132x - 143)/(x³(x+2)(x²+ 4)(x²+1)³) with respect to x.

I don't know linear algebra :( Repeated linear AND repeated quadratics in the same decomposition is beyond cruel and unusual!
