I think you've all had long enough to think about that one so here's today's little puzzle:-
If a lion has 4 legs,, a cheetah 6 legs and an antelope 8 legs, how many legs has a buffalo?
EDIT
Part 2 How many legs has a Centipede and a Millipede?

OK a buffalo has 6 legs
Using the same formula a Millipede and a Centipede together have 16, but I have a sneaking suspicion the goal posts are changing.

Centipede + Millipede = 8 + 8 = 16
