And what about that millipede with 662 legs?
Now here's some other ("explosive") news to assuage our irritated minds and stressful souls:
The world's leggiest species -- a millipede that has up to 750 legs -- has been spotted for the first time in 80 years.
The last time Illacme plenipes was seen was in 1926, when it was discovered living in a tiny habitat measuring just 0.8 square kilometres (0.31 sq. miles) in San Benito County, California.
The adult females were nearly twice as long as the adult males, coming in at 33.20mm (1.31 inches) and bearing either 662 or 666 legs, arrayed on 170 or 171 segments. The adult males measured up to 16.15mm (0.64 inches) and up to 402 legs, on 105 segments.
There are around 10,000 species of millipedes, one of the world's oldest terrestrial animals.
Plenipedes can have up to 750 legs, making them the closest to having the 1,000 that millipedes according to folklore are supposed to have.
