What are Centipedes?
Centipedes are described as invertebrate animals that belong to Class Chilopoda, Phylum Arthropoda. It is important to note that Phylum Arthropoda is the largest and most diverse group of invertebrate animals. This group makes up more than 80% (800, 000) of all known animal species.
The First Book of Moses, Genesis, Chapter 1, verses 24 and 25 describe the creation of cattle, beasts, and everything that creeps upon the Earth.
Centipede has an elongated, flattened body that is divided into head and trunk, and the trunk comprises of segments. They move rapidly on from 14 to 177 pairs of legs. The average number of legs is 35 pairs, one pair per segment except for the first one segment and the last two. The appendages of the first segment are modified into jaw like claws equipped with poison glands with which it paralyzes its prey. The last pair of legs is pincer-like. The smaller centipedes move fast running with the body held straight. The larger variety move relatively slowly and show sinuous movements. These animals typically remain hidden by day under stones, dry leaves, bark, and ground litter and hunt small insects at night. The small centipedes are harmless to humans. The larger centipedes could pose a severe risk. Its sting may not kill man but could cause severe pain, burning sensation, redness, and swelling. The largest tropical species Scolopendra gigantea may reach a size of 12 inches or 30 centimeters. It will be interesting to know the difference between insects and centipedes. Insect has a body that is divisible into head, thorax, and abdomen. The term ‘true bugs’ is used to describe insects with sucking mouth parts and with forewings thickened toward the base. The term ‘worm’ is used to describe a variety of slender, soft-bodied animals such as the earthworms. Centipedes may not be described as bugs, insects, or worms. However, it will be correct to call them as creepy creatures as they move along with the body close to the ground and exhibit a creeping movement that is similar to the movement displayed by a snake. In common usage, the word ‘creep’ is used to describe a thing that arouses a sense of fear.
As the Book of Genesis suggests, God may have created a variety of creepy things before creating man in His own image. Man has rational, and moral nature like God’s and man has no inner impulse or drive to sin. Man has free will to obey God’s will. There is nothing in man’s environment that can compel man to sin. But, man could be solicited to disobey God and to commit sin. The solicitation to sin could only come from outside.
The “Fall” of man is narrated in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 3. The voice of ‘The Serpent’ that deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden was the voice of Satan, the adversary of both God and man. The voice of ‘The Tempter’ comes to man from outside himself and hence man has to live with a sense of fear and be cautious while contacting creepy creatures. Centipede could be an exception as it solicits no man to perform immoral, and corrupt sexual acts.
Lord Centipede – Whole Centipede – Saint Centipede:
Lord Centipede is the name of a music band that is very popular with a lot of young people living in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. I would not be surprised if this music band gets international acclaim and recognition. They deliver music with a sting; its nasty but enticing. Young people love it as the music provokes them to experience life with sharpness.
The Centipede that interests me is called ‘Whole Centipede’. He has the nature of a Centipede that I have described but he has also the ability to sing and play musical instruments. He could be one of those fallen angels; the bad angels who had participated in a deliberate, self-determined rebellion against God and got expelled from the Heaven. Some of these bad angels spent over thousand years living in abyss and have returned to planet Earth as they cannot return to the Heaven. By nature, these bad angels get attracted by a variety of creepy creatures and often reveal themselves in the bodily form of those creatures. Satan, the Leader of fallen angels is extremely wicked and he reveals himself in the bodily form of ‘The Serpent’. The ‘Whole Centipede’ has revealed himself in the bodily form of a human being, and is known as ‘Sir. Samir’, or ‘Lord. Sameer’. During day time, he is mostly pleasant and his nature is revealed during his music shows and performances. He can literally bite you with his music and song. He mercilessly punches people with his lyrics. He arouses a sense of fear when he sings and plays. However, the ‘Whole Centipede’ is not immoral, or corrupt like other bad angels. He acquired a good characteristic from the Centipede Class to which he belongs.
Centipedes are a class or group of Arthropods that do not exhibit the sexual, or reproductive behavior called ‘Copulation’. The male centipede does not copulate with a female centipede or with another male. It does not need a female and has no requirement called ‘cohabitation’. There is no direct bodily contact between the male and female centipedes. Male Chilopoda spin a small web onto which they deposit a spermatophore for the female to take up. Sometimes there is a courtship dance, sometimes the males just leave them for the females to find. In other words, the male centipede sleeps alone and the bed or ground on which it lays remains clean as its sperm is deposited in a small web from which the female they are taken up.
The ‘Whole Centipede’ has this behavioral trait and he prefers clean, bed linen that are not soiled or stained by activities like copulation. Further, he shows a sense of passion, a strong urge, intense drive, and very deep motivation to maintain his bed linen in a clean, and good condition at all times.
These admirable qualities and behavioral traits of Centipedes to avoid copulation have helped me in selecting him for a new assignment in the ‘Whole Heaven’, a Heaven that I am creating. He will be appointed as the Director of Housekeeping Services and Housekeeping Operations in the ‘Whole Heaven’ where the Heavenly Maidens are prohibited from providing Housekeeping Services for they have the task of serving Heavenly Pleasure. In the ‘Whole Heaven’ the daily operations require a change of bed linen at least six times on any given Heavenly Day with no Holidays. It is a very demanding task and the high standards of Heavenly Service stipulate that the bed linen must be always be clean, and fresh while the Heavenly residents enjoy their Heavenly Pleasures as per the schedule planned by the Director of Front-End Operations. Only a ‘Whole Centipede’ who has no desire for engaging in copulation can provide such important Housekeeping Service with a total sense of Dedication. Whole Dude is very optimistic that the ‘Whole Centipede’ would soon be promoted and be elevated to the status of ‘Saint Centipede’ for rendering excellent service with a sense of Devotion and Dedication.
Whole Dude says that in Whole Heaven we need Whole Discipline and Whole Dedication to obtain Whole Pleasure. What do you want to say?
