Looks like you found a Lithobius forficatus - Stone Centipede. Here's a link with a ton of info on them. (never mind the silly pic in the link)

Neat find by the way. They're pretty cool despite their size.

Hey thanks for the info, I wounder why in that link it says it's an "unknown species" Well thanks for the info, It would be cool if they were bigger, it's still a neat little thing though.
