They're fantastically interesting, and you can't kill them if you try (well, stepping on them obviously kills them, but they're nigh on impossible to finish otherwise)! Yes, if they escape you're in trouble, but they're fine if you're careful.

Oh I see. Fair enough then, for some reason I thought they were perhaps being kept as "live food" for other animals.

I remember when I was living in China, I woke up one morning and I was just lying in bed looking around the room - getting used to the light - when I spotted a gigantic cockroach right next to my shoe on the floor.
I immediately woke up and inspected it. It was absolutely huge, nearly the same size as my shoe, and I needed to kill it. So I picked up another shoe and smashed it's ugly face into gunge.
*shiver* It was absolutely disgusting. Yuck.
Kill LOADS when i was younger living in Hong Kong, from smacking it with a shoe (most popular) or picking it up from the nose hair thing and fling it outside the house. Squashing it does make a right mess thou, white goo everywhere.

Kill it kill it kill it...
God, we see enough of those foul disgusting things round here, luckily we've only seen 3 in our apartment over the last 6 months, but see loads out and about, horrible germ ridden scummy insects
My wife's dog likes to roll over them killing them, but the guts sometimes gets on her neck.... Gross

I have some bad news people.
Geoff seems to have expired during the night
Apparently sitting there on a piece of paper underneath a glass was too much for his fragile body to take. Either that or he's playing dead waiting for me to lift the glass.

RIP Geoff, may you enjoy the great slum in the sky.
PK!

Hes obviously playing dead. The second you lift the lid he will jump out and into your ear. He will then comsume your brain and wear you like a "6thelement suit", then proceed to rampage around your home town before hijacking a vehicle to Sheffield and trying to use that building-near-the-station-that-I-think-looks-like-a-hair-dryer that is really a space shuttle to take off to his home planet

Years ago when I stayed in Malta, a few of these evil things decided to disturb my sleep by scuttling on the tiled apartment floor. not nice & when I complained to the apartment owner ' they are like your flies in England' he said. Cant say I would like one scuttling into my gob when I'm asleep

Aye, they reckon these things would be the only creature to survive a nuclear war dont they?
them and fruit flies i think...
I think its the radiation it can survive, the actual blast will kill them

It's the radiation they can survive. They'll fry just like anything else if whacked by a nuke.
