Simply. Gross.

Oh, thanks for the visual. :) Ewwwwww.

Must've been a small roach!

I wish you had a video...

Uhm... EWW!

I'm not sure how a 50°+ environment is suitable...

The things are pretty much immune to radiation. They can live for weeks without eating. They can be frozen and come back to life when thawed out. They can leap buildings in a simple bound. Is it really a surprise they can hang out in there and survive? The question is: did it lay any eggs, and will more be crawling out of there in the future?

Haha. That'd be awesome (shivers). They leave dozens or hundreds of eggs, so prepare for a cockroach flood. Oh, and don't lick your keyboard in the near future.

Oh my God... I'm going to be creeped out every time I use my MBP for the next two weeks... at least.

Eggs? Gahhh....

There is a horror movie script here somewhere...

apples

bugs

worms

roaches

It practically writes itself. ;-)

Ew, that is one of the more disgusting visuals of this month, at least!

Oh, and don't lick your keyboard in the near future.

Hehe, referring to the oft-told urban legend? That one's horrible.

I think that's considered a feature...

I hear Eli Roth gets his ideas from 9rules Notes.

apples
bugs
worms
roaches

I also hear that's exactly what his scripts look like.

*shivers*

AHH!!! eggs... now I have to take it apart to make sure. I still don't know how it got in there. It had apparently been riding around in my backpack all day.

Ewwww!

Yeah, cockroaches can survive anything! They out-lasted the dinosaurs.

Along the gross factor.. my biology professor told me that soda cans are among the dirtiest things to put in your mouth because rats in the shipping plants run along the tops and lick the sweet drops that are left behind.

That is totally disgusting!

lol, make sure you check your backpack and your closet (if thats where you keep your backpack)

I can deal with spiders, snakes and even rats but roaches...there's nothing worse in my opinion.

I was traveling in Thailand a few years back in some pretty remote areas and I stayed in this small hut out in the sticks, I arrived at around 3am on the back of a motorbike. I had to wake the owner of the site up to let me in. Anyway I was so dirty after 2 days without a shower, and on seeing that they had some washing facilities I jumped at the chance.

The shower room was a small wooden cubical outdoors with cold water. No roof or anything so you could look up and see the stars. The whole place was alive with the sound of insects. All was going well until after a while I got the feeling that something was watching me. I turned round and on the wooden door of the cubicle, literally half a meter away was the biggest cockroach I have ever seen in my life.

It was easily 20cm in length and it just stood there, poised and defiant, staring me down...worst of all was the fact that I was naked! It really was the sort of visceral experience you never want to have again! And I'm not even going to get into flying roaches...

omg i would have died
