Why don't we just kill all the cockroaches and leave the machines to the nerds? Or wait, maybe we can turn this around ;D

Kill all the nerds and let the machines to the cockroaches? Noooooo!!!  I wouldn't be a cockroach killer, though; the crunch of a crushed insect gets me straight to the spine.  |

Nah, I don't step on cockroaches or spiders.  I wrap a plastic bag around my hand and "trap it in". Then, I toss the bag away into the chute or bin.  Trust me: it's a much "safer" way of dealing with a roach than spraying insecticide or embarking on a marathon. |

I never met a wild cockroach, thankfully... In fact I saw real cockroaches only once, in an insectarium; and that's where I discovered that not only are those things huge and ugly as hell, but that they also screech exactly like that sound that they put on TV for creepy insect swarms!! |

I've once seen cockroaches - in the toilet in a zoo while I was sitting there ... The zoo building contained a bird exhibition, and I had the impression as if the birds fed on the insects.
But somehow a few had escaped. ;D

Birds feeding is always somewhat disgusting, but these must be top there... Worse than just crushing the things, it's crushing them with their mouth... And enjoying it! |

I wouldn't say "enjoy", because we don't know if they do "enjoy" it. It might just be hunger. |

It might be. From what you posted, I got the impression that the cockroaches were their normal "diet of choice" in the wild; and if so, that satisfying their hunger that way would be something that makes them feel good, so that they'd enjoy.  Mind that if it's not the case, it makes the thing even more disgusting to me (and not only in a physical way)... |

Oh, its just some popular Mexican song that people always sing wrong, usually like: "La cucaracha, la cucaracha!... la-la-la-la-la-la-la! La cucaracha, la cucaracha!... bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla!" What I wrote is not the whole song, but its the intro; translated it goes like this: "The cockroach, the cockroach, he is not able to walk, because "no falta" (I forget the translation), because he does not have a foot for walking." The makers of the song were actually singing about a car they had, that broke down. It was really old, so they called it The Cockroach, Grandfather of the Beetle. ;D At least, thats what I've heard. Killerzzz |
