Everybody must be agree if I say that cockroach is disgusting. Most people hate  cockroaches.

But maybe, after having a serious reading on this article, you may find another view about cockroach.  OK then, here they are, cockroach facts!

1. A cockroach can live for 3-4 weeks without its head. And you thought decapititation solved everything. Don’t you think this is scarying? Don’t they need the head as the brain is inside it? Ouw, we gotta get a discussion on this.

2. In a nuclear war which would level the Earth, cockroaches would be the only survivors. An article from Australian Broadcasting Corporation has explained this. The scientist mentioned that cockroaches have a great ability to absorb radiation, about 6-15 times of human’s. Wow!

3. Young cockroaches only need a crack about 0.5mm wide to crawl into your house. Adult males can squeeze into a space of 1.6mm.

4. No food for a month–not even a crumb? Roaches can go without eating for a month but will only live a week without water. German cockroaches even can survive for up to one month without food and two weeks without water.

5. If a cockroach breaks a leg it can grow another one. Wow, this one is so fantastic huh?

6. The earliest fossil cockroach is about 280 million years old – 80 million years older than the first dinosaurs!

‘Till this line, don’t you think that most of the facts are scarying? :p
