I have heard that a cockroach can live for up to a MONTH with out its head.

Sad to say....I have cockroaches in my neighborhood. Not huge roaches, but, still roaches. If I had the stomach I'd be more than willing to cut ones head off and stick it in a jar on my computer desk just to make it more scientific.

God I can't wait until I can move.
