The young Conservative hopeful , Michael Portillo was canvassing for the election once,
He was known for his amazingly energetic style.
Once, for example, he had literally run up the garden path to a house and rung the doorbell.
But, something was amiss and when he looked behind him, he could see the path he had run up was covered in newly laid wet concrete.with nice Portillo footprints.
At that moment, the door opened and the burly constituent said, "YES?"
"Good morning, sir",said Portillo with his cheesiest grin, "I'm your ....Labour party candidate", and ran off splooshing back down the path.

less than 100?
Nope.
Always an even number, sometimes more than a hundred, sometimes less, depending on species.
The one with the closest number to 100 was discovered in 1999 and has 96 legs and is also unique for centipedes in having an even number of pairs of legs, 48 pairs.
All other centipedes have an uneven number of pairs of legs ranging from 15 to 191 pairs.
They have 1 pair per main body segment and are carnivorous, whereas millipedes have 2 pairs on each segment and are herbivorous.
