There was also another millipede discovery published in the last few days:
>PhysOrg: [First ever true millipede with over 1,000 feet found](https://phys.org/news/2021-12-true-millipede-feet.html)
>
>Scientists have discovered the world’s first true millipede, a study said Thursday, describing a long, thin and segmented creature with a whopping 1,306 legs—more than any other animal ever.
They can still be seen in some areas, especially after the clubs shut on the weekend.
If a group of millipedes aren’t formally known as a milliband then I want to speak to someone’s manager.
*Someone finding remnants of a micro-machine in the year 3021*
Cars “as small as millipedes” once roamed northern England, fossil find reveals.
If a millipede a bucketful, how much did the precipice?
A sheer drop.
So you’re saying there could be some truth to the Lambton Worm?!
No wonder monkeys got good at climbing trees. No tree? Learn to run. A new theory on the development of bipedalism, and the opposable thumb, for bashing one of these buggers with a rolled up copy of Chimp News.
Probably separated from us by millions of years. Thank gawd for that.
I’m sure you all remember the highly successful BBC series “Walking with Dinosaurs”?
Well, there were a couple of follow-ups, including one called “Walking with Monsters” which featured these giant insects & similar.
If you can find a copy, I’d recommend.
We know! The Flintstones used them as buses… god do these “scientists” know anything?
First Covid. Next the revenge of the giant millipedes
As someone who hates millipedes, centipedes, and practically anything else with more than 6 legs, that can fuck **RIGHT OFF!**
“When I were a lad….. we ‘ad millipedes as big as cars!”
“………..Luxury!”
I think they mean ‘as long as a cars’, I’d be happy to tussle with one of those.
I was fully expecting this article to be conflating ‘big’ with ‘long’, but nope, 50kg nightmare fuel.
They’ve got millipedes big as cars
They’ve got rivers of gold
If their millipedes were as big as the cars we have today, how big were their cars?

Long as a freaking car? god damn that will give a lot of us nightmares.
The Carboniferous Period was wild, evolution gave no fucks and fish walked on land leading to our miserable existence.

>Experts believe the specimen is a section of the creature’s exoskeleton that it shed near a river bed, which was then preserved by the sand.
