A strange bug at my frontdoor

Anyone know what kind of bug this is? I've never seen anything like it, and it's fascinating! It was about 3 inches long including his legs.

I believe that it is a house centipede.

Hi Blaine, Ben is right, it is a house centipede 100%,
the proper name for this insect is Scutigera coleoptrata

all I know is that I would leave the house, contents and all--and never go back! LOL
