Roach Researches

Continuing on my research of the Denizen of the Ditch, the elusive cockroach, I searched far and wide for scientific experts who could help me with my PhD.

Luckily for me, while celebrating the treasure hunt win with my bunch of buddies, who should I come across but the famous Resident Roach Researcher of all time! I was very excited. Finally I was going to be able to ask questions the answers to which that had forever eluded me!

Over some delicious biryani, he began to explain while I furiously scribbled away on my notepad.

"It is the strongest creature you know"
"If the world were destroyed in a nuclear disaster, guess which is the only creature that can survive? Yes, the cockroach. But he will soon die within 8 days. Why? Lack of good food..."
"Very adaptable"
"Has amazing mimicing abilities"
"Exoskeletal structure makes it difficult to crush to death"
"Capacity to generate its own sustenance"

I looked up at the Researcher in wonder and amazement. Finally I was going to be able to complete my PhD.

LoL....I just wish I could have made the article more interesting and thrown in some really outlandish 'facts'! :-)

BTW, last night I nearly died of fright when a HUGE cockroach attacked me in the loo :-O I need to follow all my own tips from the "Roach Battle Strategy" :)
