That must get messy. I figure that they would eventually explode.I'm just wondering, what happens if one were to put a cockroach into a microwave oven for 10 minutes? I know it can live from nuclear fall out and without a head.
They would cook, just like any other living creature made of meat.
I put them on power level 50 percent for five minutes, and they popped up fluffy like Orville's own. Though I'm a vegetarian, they simply looked too tasty to pass up - all shiny and caramel hued - so I cocked my head back and tossed a few down my gullet.
I'm writing this from the rear of an ambulance en route to the emergency room. My recommendation: never try any of pigknight's experiments and never eat popped roaches, because they indeed survived their metamorphosis into a snack food and continue to skitter around within my innards. I... I can feel them.
H R Gieger, eat your heart out.
Was that a joke? If it is it was hella funny, if not I'm sorry. I never said to eat it so no sueing me.
Oh, it was most certainly a joke.
The day I eat a bug is the day I wake up to find I've somehow become a were-sparrow.Mmm...Bugs are actually quite tasty. I'm personally very fond of baked or fried grubs with seasoning. They're not unlike potato chips, but protien instead of carbs. Chocolate covered crickets are good, too. Similar in taste and texture to nestle crunch bars.
Well, centuries back, in the olden days, when home computers operated with great stone wheels and angry monkeys, someone like you, who enjoyed the deliciousness of a good grub, sent out a proto-email entitled 'Re: grub, mmmmm!'
The person recieving the email was dyslexic and read it backwards, thinking it said mmmburger. This is how the hamburger came to get its name. It had nothing to do with the city of hamburg.
And ever since, people have been chowing down on smallish, hearty disks of insect flesh they've been told are all beef.
Bet you guys are glad to have a historian in your ranks.
Oh, it was most certainly a joke.
...so what you're saying is either you're doing that today, or my "greater teleport to TheJade's house-polymorph any object him-word of refuge out" combo failed to take effect, right?

Hmm... I am suddenly feeling a bit peckish.

Just remember that red-headed ants make your pinga smaller. Ask any Amazonian witchdoctor.
So red ants are on 'roids?
Maybe.
I've just remembered that you can counter the ill effect with very hot kind of peppers. By "very hot" I mean "burns twice - while entering and leaving"!

Sounds like perfect medicine for what ails me. This thing is getting unmanageable and I'm tired of wearing this pushcart/brace.
And in all seriosness, the bug would die. Roaches are great survivors, but not that great. usually if one roach lives, they pass on resistance to the next generation, so if you bombard your roaches with some kind of mild radiation that doesn't make them sterile (fat chance with that bug!) each generation would become more immune to the radiation.
When we lived down south, we had roaches that became immune to Combat cups, and they soon became resistant to Raid. Most Pest Control Professionals (AKA Gribbles) will tell you to switch out your pesticides to prevent this.
Because nothing is funnier than watching a roach see your Combat cup, run in, wait five minutes, then come out stoned with three of his buddies
I'm just wondering, what happens if one were to put a cockroach into a microwave oven for 10 minutes? I know it can live from nuclear fall out and without a head.
I would imagine that the roaches would suffer the same fate as a pigknight in a microwave. The would painfully cook from the inside out. Now, while not the biggest fan of cockroaches, I personally would never try such a thing because I am a strong believer in karma.
That is what happens when you are in the military and go through Jungle Survival School.
The best thing is, whenever I meet new people, I always make sure to eat a big nasty bug in front of them. It kind of breaks the ice.

Well I have protection from fire and protection from microwaves combined with permacy so they just spark up like my armor makes me
?I have ate many bugs - none of them cooked and all of them alive.

my firing team skipped bugs and went after a wild boar. m-16a1 vs wild boar! lol the dang rounds were bouncing off the hide! lol we finally dropped it though, after like 2 clips each. then our stupid standard issue field knives wouldn't cut the darn thing! and it was so full of lead i am surprised we didn't get poisoned. though we lost victory points due to the fire we used to cook it, heh heh heh
Back on topic, so who's gonna nuke a roach?
Boars are incredibly tough. I heard they can take a point black 12 gauge shotgun blast.
Back on topic, so who's gonna nuke a roach?
In the medieval ages, they used spears that were at least eight feet long to hunt them.
And then they stuck a cross-piece half-way up so the boar wouldn't charge straight up the spear and gore the wielder.
'Incredibly tough' may be an understatement...
EDIT: Crap. Almost forgot the most important bit! They're also damned friggin' tasty.
Back to the topic at hand: Who's gonna do this experiment?
Not it! :P
he said at first the roaches started running around frantically, then they kind of bubbled, rolled on thier back, and popped.
he said it smelled kind of like burned butter and hot dogs.
so, would fire ant bites be fire damage?
though you could sautee them with a fine merlot
they taste better with honey

I'd say a nice champagne would be more suitable. Red ants and red wine would be a bit much.

true, true. could go all vikingy and have some meade though, that's white i do believe ;)
Anyway, fire ant vodka? Sounds horrible.
You can put steel wool in the microwave and get a real show. CDs too (ruins the CD). Again, the sparks can damage or erode away at anything nearby. I'd only do try this in an old microwave that you don't use any more. Don't blame me if you ruin the finish on your good one or if you ruin whatever you put in there.
I think it could work, actually - it could make for some interesting advertisements. Anyway, didn't people supposedly put worms in the Tequila to show how good it is?
IIRC, the worm gets put into Mezcal. But I could be wrong. Not my cup of te ... er ... booze. Scotch fan, myself.
How dare they ruin good Tequila. I call a Crusade of the Ruiner of Tequila.
Good? Tequila? Same sentence? How dare you! ;)

You're both mistaken, there's nothing better than good, self-made moonshine!
I bet those 70% would kill a roach.

Yeah, ya' gotta love the shine. My friend used to get self-whiskey fairly often through some of his family friends. They actually bought old JD casks and aged the shine in them. It ended up with a wonderful woody taste to the painfully potent brew. Great stuff. :D

A buddy of mine has Navy Rum. It's somewhere north of 70% alcohol... I think you could get drunk by inhaling the fumes that come off of it.
My father does some "homemade" rakia every year or so. I put the quotes there as he technically goes to a distillery for the distillation, but prepares the raw materials himself. It's not quite my choice of a drink, but some of his friends have found it quite good.
Good? Tequila? Same sentence? How dare you! ;)
I'm from a full blown Mexican family. I have to like Tequila.

Fair enough. I'll letcha slide on this one. :D
Or at least denature enough protiens that you wake the next day with a sore !@@, a headache, and child support and alimony payments from a foreign person which may or may not be female.
just ask anyone.

Given that we're talking about Mexican drinks, I'd have said "I'll leche slide on this one," but.... ;)

And how, exactly, did you know I wasn't writing "leche" as how it would be said coming from a Texan with a bad accent? I didn't, but I could have. :P Still, nicely done. ;)
Leche...new experiment: drownin' roaches. Do they die faster in booze or milk?
Perhaps of greater importance: do they taste better in booze or milk? ;)

Because you don't spell with a Texan accent, do you? :D And thanks; I try.
Leche...new experiment: drownin' roaches. Do they die faster in booze or milk?
Booze. If you rescue a creature from drowning in milk, it'll thank you and be on its way. Rescue it from drowning in booze and it'll jump back in.

"You @$%!^&!!! I was in paradise!"
"You were gonna die."
"Yeah, in 25 year old scotch whiskey! Let me go! I want back! I WANT BACK!!!!"
My daughter found a 9 inch caterpillar in her sand pile this morning. It was about a half inch in diameter. it was HUGE!. We live in the adirondack mountains, and I grew up here and I have never seen anything like that here before.
But, I was thinking it might go good with a nice madras sauce.

I wouldn't try it many insect use chemicals for defense and it might make you sick.

That would explain why some people feel sick at a mere thought of eating a bug.
You probably have to cook it properly to remove bad substances, like with some mushrooms or the fugu fish.

that fish is evil. is it tru you are considered a superman if you eat one while in japan?
