Centipedes can have a varying number of legs from under 20 to over 300, but there is no centipede with exactly 100 legs. #funfact
As anyone noticed that the word healthy is heal thy broken up Is there anything in that or am I just bored? heal thy body, foot, finger whatever = healthy body, foot etc
How would anyone possibly know that if they can have a varying number of legs from under 20 to over 300
"While the word centipede literally means “100-footed,” most centipedes do not have 100 legs. The number of legs a centipede has depends upon the number of body segments that make up its body, and this number varies by species. Centipedes typically have one pair of legs per segment." So lets say this one on my leg had 100 legs and was in the minority, for the purpose of my 'joke'
None have been discovered yet. Most at centipedes have odd pairs though (49 pairs) for example, rare to find one with an even number of pairs
Of the 3,000 different types of centipedes on our planet, none have 100 feet. Some have 50 and some as much as 350.
They must have named the species on finding one with a 100 legs, seeing as it literally means 100 feet
Or they didn't bother counting properly and just made **** up, like Arsenal do with their attendances.
