“He was little but that did not stop him!
He ran towards the big elephant nay a care!
He did not have to worry cause he was an ant!
Forget elephant, even the tiger he wouldn’t spare!”
There are people who like the creepiest things in the world but I am sure they would not like this! They could very well be one of the most resilient beings in the world! I am sure that they were around with the Dinosaurs and I am sure they will survive even another big bang!
You can find them in the remotest places and you can find them in the most populated ones! From ancient to the most modern, there have been so many devices and chemicals invented to get rid of them but take it from me, you cannot get rid of them! They will lay low for a while and come back with a vengeance!
I am sure that even the most Heartful guy or gal would immediately pounce on them or crush them without a thought!
I am also sure that if a human does go to Mars, you will find a colony of them there happily munching on some martian rocks!
It has been said that these creatures can live without their heads for one week! Now all those who say knowledge is important can bow their intact heads in shame!
Apparently when you think or investigate them you would find that they are more close to humans in that they also have chambers in their heart!
And their heart (rate!) is close to ours!
You may be scared of your wife but the only thing they may be scared of maybe these creepy things! Find them in your food in a hotel and you may get the food for free! But then you may not like to eat it!
They even have amazing latin names like Americana and Germania!
Yes!
The humble (??) Cockroach!
It has actually been found that a cockroach can live up to a week without its head! Cockroaches are mainly nocturnal and will run away from light.
Now remember how you were fasting the other day and felt good about it!? Well, cockroaches are tougher! They can live up to three months without food and a month without water! I do not think its humanly possible to beat that!
Now if you want to drown them these can put Phelps to shame! These pests can even survive being submerged under water for half an hour! They hold their breath often to help regulate their loss of water! Time for the swimming coaches to learn something new!
By the way they do not mind a drink! Apparently a cockroach species is drawn to some alcoholic beverages, especially beer! They are most likely attracted by the hops and sugar present in the drink or they get a high! Now what is the truth that, Hic! We may never know!
And talk about ancestry, it is believed that cockroaches originated more than 280 million years ago in the Carboniferous era! Also if you are terrified of the small roaches then you must avoid this place in South America where this species also has a one-foot wingspan! Now that is big! Big also is the legacy of Balraj Sahni the birthday celebrity of the day!
Now confirm the pest control appointment for tomorrow and sleep!
Shubh ratri!
