How can you tell the different between millipedes and centipedes?

🐛 Millipedes have two pairs of legs per segment, centipedes only have one.

You'd also notice that it takes the millipede much longer to put its shoes on.

In 1784 Launoy and Bienvenue invented a toy which featured a rotary wing system.

This demonstrated the principle of powered, vertical rotary-wing flight and is a crucial, early step in helicopter history.
