Man's New Best Friend....The Cockroach.
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-22508439


you would be amazed at how well informed one can get while listening to the BBC World Service ....you do not even need those shortwave radios anymore....

I was thinking we could create these giant factories and use processed cockroach meat as a great source of protein....the burger would taste like beef but of course be all cockroach flesh.....

sort of soylent green but using bugs:)

Maybe if they give them growth hormones and antibiotics we could have frankenroaches, dip them in batter and fry them we would have Pop-A-Roach snacks. :p

Or maybe even Roachzilla! :eek:

I could see that! Monsanto develops growth hormone to raise cow sized cockroaches. Then the Bovineus Roachhideous Gigantii escape, breed uncontrollably and attack us.

The Tea Party blames Obama.
