Dear Strangers,
Today's strange Topic has to be: Cockroaches.
Gross, I know. But these creepy crawlies have to be one of the most interesting (And strange) bugs out there. For example, Cockroaches can live up to nine days without their heads. The only reason they die is because they cannot eat or drink anything. Turns out that the Cockroach, or 'water bug' actually has no brain in it's head. The brain is located in it's body!
Roaches assosiate common smells such as Vanilla and Peppermint to Food! So don't leave out those vanilla scented candles unless you plan on getting some unwanted guests.
They also leave Chemicals in their crap, yes I said crap. These chemicals are sort-of like a road map for other cockroaches. The roaches follow the pioneers trail to food and water. This helps exterminators because the possible murderers of the roach can make a trail using the same chemical, and lead the unsuspecting roach to their ultimate demise. This truthfully sucks for the roach because, eventually, the roach may not even trust themselves to use this trail. And may (As I suspect) lead to the future eradication of the roach.
But don't cheer and jump up just yet, roach haters. The chances of this actually happening is one-to-zero. Wishful thinking and such, ya know? But theories that the roach is soon-to-go are wrong. The roach's chances of staying on Earth long after humanity is extinct is high.
Get your bug spray ready, folks. They are coming.
Stranger Still,
Lena

Hi! I am International Mastermind. I voted other, I found this blog from Ananka's Diary.
Love the blog!
I was wondering, since you have proved to be an avid reader and winning writer, would you like to join a blog that I put together for reviewing scary and freaky books. Some of our many contributors are Ananka, Theatre, and (da dada daaaa...) me! Just go to http://freakybook.blogspot.com and comment with your blogger email adress. Please?
Ok, speaking of the freaky and disgusting lovers I like to call cockroaches, the are the only known living thing that can survive nuclear war. And how undoubtly unwelcome these critters are, blowing then up with a nuclear powered supergun will not help in their destruction.
