Erm, it's.... The legs are long, it's got a fairly short body for a centipede...

Millipedes are unlikely to become a house pest unless your home contains large quantities of decaying vegetable matter, such as if you have a thatched roof or straw floor, or if you are storing large quantities of poorly-sealed dry goods such as flour

The biggest difference between millipedes and their distant centipede cousins is the former are grazers and the latter are predators

(Contrary to the name, the difference in number of legs is not nearly so extreme -- the millipedes just always look like they have more legs for their size because they have two pairs of legs per body segment rather than one, hence their formal name Diplopoda)

Fun fact, it's impossible for a centipede to literally have 100 legs, because they have exactly one pair of legs per body segment and they always have an odd number of body segments

This is in direct contrast with a human centipede, which obviously has four legs per "segment" (and 25 segments in the "true centipede" in the final film) and for that reason could possibly be more accurately called a human millipede

How the fuck can a human centipede consist of 25 people when it’s a point in the first movie that the anyone beyond the second person dies due to lack of nutrients?

It doesn't have to survive very long for you to just say you did it and get the world record

Actually I looked it up and I was misinformed, the final human centipede has 500 components (making it technically a human bimillipede) It's created by a demented prison warden who wants to give the ultimate punishment to the entire population of his prison

hemimillipede?

If it has 500 segments then it has 2000 limbs

Oh, good point. So yes, bimillipede.
