actually, centipedes haven't really got 100 legs- it's closer to 40.and besides that, when they die, they don't just fall on their "back", they curl up in a little ball, so their legs aren't in the air

Forget about 1st comment... some people analyze everything so much... not cool, man!
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.

Okay i am probably confusing everybody. Just forget about above comment.
lol! Does it have to be dead?
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

I was thinking like a radio tower or something. I like your answer better!
haha, good one
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.
Loved it.
