Ken you recent meesage was entitled

"Subject: Centurions"

Since this was in response to my orginal post  I must correct you.

The term I used for people who live 100 years is Centenarian.  A Centurion (the 
word you used) is a soldier referenced many times in the Bible, who was in 
charge of 100 men.

Now thats not to say that there could not be A Centenarian who's occupation was 
a Centurion (likely in the Roman Army).

And if that Centenarian Centurion had all of his men lined up and marching in 
rows..the legs, of course, would form a  bi-centipede... an army with 200 
legs)..not to be confused with a bicentennial.

>From Barney's lecture, we know that this is all due to the latin word 
>Centu--which means, 100 as in Century-100 year.
