Default Well, at least they're cheap to feed...

Peking, Red China (Peking Morning Post) -- Police were alerted after a
lonely widower was found to be keeping 200,000 cockroaches as pets.
A horrified neighbor saw the insects swarming across the floor of the man's
house. The pensioner told police he had begun breeding the cockroaches as a
hobby after his wife died. It took health officials two hours to kill the
insects and disinfect the man's home.

Breeding cockroaches for fun. Now I've heard it all. And I thought DH's
fascination with honeybees was weird.

I guess it takes all kinds. Only two hours to kill them? I would've bet
that couldn't be done in that time withouth torching the whole building.
