Yeah, Nicholas, I saw that too and commented on it. He was in Mexico, if I remember correctly and this was in Laos so I'm not sure if its the same or related.
Hey Dan, I saw a posting in the spring with a kid holding a dead one like the one you posted.. here's the link.. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6907794
I'm still searching but I do think you are on the right track. Looks like it could be a species of Scolopendra.
