message :)


I read once that a cockroach needs its head more for the mouth than the
brain (or nerve bundle, since they don't really have brains).  Scientists
beheaded a cockroach, taking precautions so it didn't bleed to death, and it
lived for two weeks afterwards, finally starving to death.

In a somewhat related incident, I came across a bunch of ants in my
microwave.  Two minutes of high power cooking later, they were still running
around inside.
