Thinking: When Heads Roll
October 05, 2006
Until I can sit down and muster up enough strength to tell you about the haunted house in Manitou Springs, Colorado, the house in which we slept, FOR THREE NIGHTS, I will leave you with this tidbit:
Did you know...
...that a cockroach can live up to ONE WEEK without its head? It only dies because without a mouth, it can't drink water.
It's true.

Thank you for sharing.

My bosses head spins around and shoots vomit. I think she may keep living even if her head was cut off. She needs no water only vodka or something.
I'm FIRST!!!!!

I'm pretty certain the same is true of Paris Hilton if you substitute attention for water.

And how, exactly, did you learn this?

So on fear factor... if you bite the head off a cockroach and then swallow it whole... it will live in your stomach for 3 weeks??

Or one week rather...
Not 3 weeks... cause they can only live one week without water.

but omigosh, BEN, what if you're right? what if they CAN live for three weeks, because it would be feeding off of the liquids in your stomach?

or, maybe that wouldn't work if you bit the head off. because when the roach drank the liquids, there wouldn't be anywhere for the liquids to go.

Thanks for the bad thoughts.

Um? Ewh.
And also? After you tell the impending HauntedHouse story, just be ready for me to be crapping my pants in fear. You know, again.
