Who's good with bug? Help me identify this one...

Wife found it in the house, otherwise I wouldn't care.

That would be a house centipede. Get them from time to time in the old house. Creepy as all get out especially when it zooms across the room at full speed. Completely harmless and fond of high humidity locations (basements/bathrooms).
Fortunately if you see one, chances are only a few others are around (no infestation).

Lived in an old brick tudor during college and we had some in there close to 6" in length (along with a family of racoons in the kitchen ceiling but that's another story)

That's a sliverfish I think.

+1 on the House Centipede
We get those in our house. I'll check more carefully next time to see if ours are carrying any loose change though.

They like to crawl into your ear canal, then latch onto your cerebral cortex.

For years I thought the hippocampus was where Rosie O'Donnell went to school.

And when you go to mash them - they break apart into a gazillion pieces!

They're a great source of protien. They taste a little like chicken
