You're probably the first centipede fan I've run across.  They're weird but cool little critters.  My background is wildlife biology but I have a soft spot for the creepy crawlies.  (I love spiders).

Like these little demonic beauties?

haha, exactly. As much as i love centipede's I probably wouldnt get one for a pet anytime soon. I have a pet scorpion, and he is just a Emperor. They look big and mean but they are fairly docile. Havnt been hurt once but sometimes he will let me know when he's really not in the mood to be handled.

A critter I saw a few news stories on that also looked interesting was a mantis shrimp. Gotta research to see if the thing is even real or not but sounds really awesome.

Ya I think that is one of them. Read how they are not really shrimp and about the club or hammer type and how fast the claw moves and how they are being researched to improve body armor. Apperantly one of those lil guys is/was creating havoc in 1,300 gal tank in San Fran; killing snails by the handfuls and is too sneaky/fast for the keepers to catch it. Also read how they can break normal glass easily and how they will never be in the petting tank ever. Wether or not you are religious in any way, anyone can appritiate the irony of no matter how smart man thinks he is we are still learning things from nature and the simplest of life forms.

Damn, Nature.  Thats a harsh one.  And would make a hell of a cheesy SyFy movie...
