Cockroach
I don't tend to kill cockroaches (You can ask my Israeli friends..., which reminds me: I am sooooo happy there aren't cockroaches in Belgium. Just another reason to stay here, even considering the weather..)
Why I don't kill them? Because they lay their eggs on the moment they're killed. So you end up with more!
But I truly hate them. (especially after having read "The Metamorphosis (Bantam Classics)" (Franz Kafka) )
So, this guy might build cockroach-robots... He can have them...

There are cockroaches in Belgium. There was an item in the news today about an investigation on spiders. Because of the port there are some kinds of spiders in Antwerp that are not found elsewhere in Belgium. One of those spiders is probably the reason why there are hardly cockroaches in Antwerp while there are quite a lot of them in Brussels.
Anyway, why don't you kill them? I can hardly imagine they won't lay their eggs if you let them live.
Posted by Stephen | May 25, 2006 4:25 PMThey told me lately not killing a cockroach because of the eggs is an urban legend.
Would be interesting to know for sure...
Anyone specialised in that field?

This link will bring you to the topic Stephen talked about.

How do you even think about creating this?
