Analysis:
Interesting. I was somewhat taken by the fact that they are the oldest living land creature, but seems I was alone in this view. The majority went of the fact that the largest was about 8ft long. One of those monsters from the land that time forgot type thing. I'd imagine that an 8ft millipede would be somewhat intimidating.
