    ^Wait, you mean you've tried to outrun a cockroach before? -ohmy

    I already knew these dirty bastards can run very fast as I often fail to hit 'm with the newspaper when I'm in HK.

    an American cockroach the size of a lion could run about 50 miles per hour

    damn that would be a big cockroach

    I don't, I usually pick them up by their antenna and flush them down the toilet...

    You must live in a place where theres a lot of Chinese?

    Squashing them with newspaper is the best. *crunch sound* music to my ears...:D

    I am sooo grateful that I dont have to deal with roaches anymore.. On the other hand, when I was in NY, they were everywhere lol I think the flying roaches are worst than the germans though, in my opinion.
