Cockroach Facts
Okay, let's mention the cockroach facts straight away so that I can ramble about my cockroach encounters at school.
On to the bizarre cockroach facts:
A cockroach can live for 3-4 weeks without its head. And you thought decapititation solved everything.
In a nuclear war which would level the Earth, cockroaches would be the only survivors.
As manifested by the cockroach story I am about to tell - they don't die, even if you crush them, twice!
So, scared by the cockroach facts? Probably not, but it helps you feel no remorse getting rid of the pests, right? So, on to my story...
Apparently, the cockroach problem in the USA is really serious and cockroaches are a common sight, but where I live, they are not.[please don't take this the wrong way o_0] So it was really freaky when we found a seemingly dead cockroach in class the other day. The boys sitting near it promptly moved to another desk after crushing the immobile cockroach with the foot of the table just to be on the safe side. I wanted to move away from the cockroach as well but there was no free desk - I had heard the cockroach facts mentioned above before, but I didn't really believe them. So, 10 minutes have passed and the cockroach hadn't stirred... yet. I turned to look at it and I thought I saw its horns move. It was... freaky! "The cockroach is moving! I am not hallucinating!" Another 5 minutes passed with me glancing nervously behind my shoulder and after a while, the cockroach started moving. Apparently, it needed some time to recover from getting his body crushed, but the fact it, it friggin' recovered. So, that proves that the two cockroach facts mentioned above are true! I don't know about the nuclear war thing, but it's been proved that cockroaches have a really high tolerance threshold for radiation, unlike as mere human beings. If despite hearing these cockroach facts, you still feel sorry for cockroaches, congratulations! Your level of kindness can't be matched. The rest of us however, will gladly crush any cockroaches that get into our way!
