Interesting.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

Yes, I saw that first video a few days ago on YouTube, sort of scary even though it is ingenious. Just the thought of cockroaches driving around............. not such a good idea :?

Lol, I can't agree more with you.

I even saw few videos made by some guy protesting for the rights for these bugs. Lol.

They're hideous, I despise them. However they don't scare me as much as they make my wife do, worst is my sister's case, once we took a trip down to Australia and she always refused to use a washroom if she spotted one.

You want something scary? Just contemplate the fact that the fellow in the videos ryeengineer posted is a breeder!
