I was playing the brain game on MSN with my good friend last night, and although it was late at night, i know for sure that this question was real. . We both remember it. . What insect can live 9 days without its head.. and .. its a cockroach.. geez. are those things darn near indestructable ?
So the body lives.. but what does it to ? just scuddle around bumping into things endlessly for 9 freaking days ? WEIRD.

That is so gross, it reminds me of the movie Mouse Hunt where the guy eats half a cockroach and the other half is walking around..Oh, my, I wasn't really hungry before, but now I am Really not hungry..

I only mentioned the eating part because that was the only time I have seen half a cockroach walking around and I thought that was very creepy..

I had heard that once before. It seems they are determined to stay alive!
Can't you just see them running around without heads on them? They are already disgusting with their heads on.

I've heard of that before and wonder the same thing. What do they do for 9 days is beyond me. I know they're nasty creepy little creatures and also want to know, what in the world are they good for? Eeeewwwww!!

I dunno what they are good for if its for anything.. what do they eat ? other bugs maybe.. ? I know gecko's eat them.. my aunt works in the biology department in a university and to try to combat the cockroach problem they brought in those lizards to eat some of them lol.

Yeah, usually the more hated or disliked creatures, the greater their perseverance is when it comes to keeping themselves alive. Or else, they have long gone extinct. But I'm still quite amazed that they can live for 9 days long without head.
