2rubystar2 Oct 25, 2006	Forget about 1st comment... some people analyze everything so much... not cool, man!
2rubystar2 Oct 25, 2006	I meant the first comment on this page, not my 1st comment. Just trying to clear that up for all those folks who are a little slow.
2rubystar2 Oct 25, 2006	If you didn't understand what above comment means, go to this page: http://www.braingle.com /brainteasers/teaser.php?id=505;op=4;comm=1#c Don't worry, I'm not trying to sell you something.
2rubystar2 Oct 25, 2006	Okay i am probably confusing everybody. Just forget about above comment.
elu93 Nov 09, 2006	lol! Does it have to be dead?
Trickster1992 Jan 20, 2007	No you could flip it over. Although, despite what your dad tells you, centipedes DO bite.. and it hurts.. Speaking of analyzing too much, I can't help but wonder, "Does a dead centipede really lay on it's back?" I would imagine it would curl up or flop down on it's side or something.. Or be SQUISHY
tintiniscool Apr 09, 2007	I was thinking like a radio tower or something. I like your answer better!
Lady_Lani Apr 10, 2007	haha, good one
swithie Apr 19, 2007	Thats as good a joke as it is teaser. Loved it. Ignore the ar** who made the first comment. What does it matter how many legs a centipede has got. I don't think it would be as fun, or even possible if it began "It lies forty feet in the air...". Loved it.
