This is the longest millipede I've ever found. The size listed is not an exaggeration - my knuckle is 3" across and the millipede not only spans that (at an angle), but also comes back to my middle finger, which is another couple of inches. I was stunned when I found it and realized it was just one individual. Strangely, however, it wasn't very thick, and I had found many (shorter) millipedes earlier that day with greater girth.
