R.I.P, Melville II

Melville II the House Centipede passed away on October 1st, 2008 in his water bottle in Room 501 of Shelton Hall, Boston.

Born of a poor family in the walls of Shelton Hall, Melville II was left to hatch alone at the age of a 30 minutes. Deciding to overcome the cold obstacles of abandonment, Melville found solace in the humidity and warmth of Room 501's bathroom. He was discovered by a screaming Mel Zile and captured by resident Betty Chan and was soon taken in as a pet.

Melville is famously known as the victor of the Great Arachnid Trials, which culminated in the Battle of October 2 when he defeated the Dread Spider Christopher after an epic fight. It was only several days later when Melville passed. When pet co owner Moira inquired upon Melville's death, pet co owner Betty replied, "It did not look good, his legs were everywhere... I should have changed his bottle...it could have been the water in [the bottle]."

Melville will always be remembered for his energy and unyielding pursuit of the truth. He was moral and strong. He has once been compared to both Mother Teresa and Arnold Schwarzenegger. R.I.P, Melville II. You were an amazing pet, and an even better friend.

Melville II is survived by Moira, Betty, Mel, and Christy.
