Since I keep listening "Murgha k ek taang" so I believe that other leg of Murga is useless or he doesn't know the purpose of other leg. :-) does it matter? the thing which matters most that how many legs does he use.

As far as I remember, Centi is used in SI units as hundredth(.01) part of something and Milli as thousandth(.001) part of something, using SI prefix like centi and milli for an invertebrate having more than one legs doesn't make sense, agreed?. Why don't the biology nomenclature be streamlined with the prefixes used by rest of this technological aware world, I mean the names should be hectopede(for invertebrate presently called centipede), kilopede(for millipede), megapede & gigapede etc.....for more advanced versions of pedes. ;) BTW: There is another invertebrate of the centipede family known as millipede.

It went something like ... never ask a centipede to go any place with you cuz it takes ages for it just to get its boots on ! :P Ah, reminds of that centipede joke I heard sometime back.

Most of the online texts including Wikipedia, Encarta and Britannica articles have separate values. Note that this range is for adult centipedes. Scutigera coleoptera (the American House Centipede) for example hatches with only 4 pairs of legs. The 15-171 range doesn’t seem definite.
