Picture this: The world's not ending, but your ability to binge-watch your favorite series might be on hiatus. That's right, we're talking about a power grid failure. Not the most thrilling apocalypse scenario, but it beats zombies.

Ever find yourself staring at a puddle, stream, or mysterious body of water and wondering, "Is this the spa day my insides have been craving or a one-way ticket to every disease known to mankind?"

In the time it takes to microwave your popcorn, approximately 27 homes in the U.S. will have had an unexpected and highly unwelcome guest. No, not your in-laws, but something potentially more distressing: a home invader.

Imagine this: You're enjoying a peaceful evening at home, perhaps contemplating the mysteries of the universe or simply wondering what to watch next on TV, when suddenly, you're faced with an uninvited guest.

Ever find yourself on a wilderness adventure, thinking, "You know what would make this perfect? An unexpected survival situation." Yeah, me neither.
