Hehe, that's what makes it kind of interesting to read what people think about it and that's why the "stuff" keeps coming. Here's something else. I have watched many centipedes kill their prey. I believe they don't always use their venom. From the way I have seen prey behave while being consumed, I think the centipede makes a "judgment call" on whether or not to use a good dose of venom. When they are very hungry, it looks like it's all out to me. Kill and eat. But when it's not really necessary, I think there is more control over the amount of venom they use. I think they use venom preservation to ration their potency to kill and protect themselves. I see crickets halfway eaten that are still kicking. Then I will see an instant kill. Speculation. A 100% guess but that's how it looks to me. So yea, I think a pinkie still wriggling is feeling allot of pain. The centipede doesn't feel a need to use it's venom. It's not a threat to the centipede. I think it senses that. I'm just guessing from what I watch. Just some thoughts. Hehehe, this dog just won't learn!Mister Internet said:Well put...
You know, you can shove a dog's nose it its own crap, but you can't make a dog believe you actually just shoved its nose in its own crap. If it doesn't want to believe that you just shoved its nose in its own crap, all you can do is rest secure in the knowledge that you did everything you could do to alert the dog to the existence of its crap.
And of course, laugh at the stupid dog with crap all over its nose...
