Despite the name, no centipede has exactly 100 pairs of legs; number of legs ranges from 15 pairs to 191 pairs, always an odd number. (wikipedia)

wtf is going on with these guys

Even stranger, the OP shows a millipede, not a centipede

I mean, I have an odd number of leg pairs. You probably do too?

i mean, our arms are just fucked up legs, so technically we have an even pair of legs.

yeah but the range of leg pairs for humans is (comparatively) much more tame. this would be like if humans had 1-12.3 leg pairs. and crazier still, humans were named something like “6 legged beings”
