Heh. You've uncovered my irrational fear. Bug guts bad. Must wash with bleach!
One page I found explained what it is with showers and sinks. The house centipedes go there for the moisture, and then cannot climb the porcelain walls out.
I found house centipedes to be both kind of cute and very scary. I think I once tried to scoop one up with a piece of paper, and it ran along the paper and up my arm. That felt kind of neat. But they are scary looking, and move damn fast, and I don't like the idea of their guts/juice on me at all.
I hear that some tarantulas are edible and taste like crab. I have doubts as to whether I would be able to eat one. (Cue my spiel about Shelob and a rocket launcher, including the lament that she's probably psychically poisonous as all hell.)
