Posted: 08.20.2002 Papa roach
Granted it's from the MSNBC.com gossip column, but this has to be one of the strangest "news" items I've read in a long, long time:
 "Forget anthrax. Terrorists in Japan are raising cockroaches to unleash on their enemies, reports Pravda. 'Cockroaches eat human eyelashes,' a would-be terrorist supposedly said in an article that appeared in the paper. 'I couldn’t think of anything more satisfying than to have somebody wake up and discover a cockroach has eaten away their eyelashes. ... And women hate cockroaches. I’ll ruin their mental state by unleashing hundreds of thousands of cockroaches onto the streets. And I’m breeding big American cockroaches, which put Japanese versions to shame. . . . I’m going to destroy this world. I’m going to terrorize everybody in the world by unleashing my cockroaches.'"Just how old is this terrorist anyway? This sounds like something we cooked up in summer camp back in junior high... Ooooh. Big scary cockroaches. Everybody run for your lives! Coming from Japan, you just know they're radioactive and breathe fire as well. (From MSNBC.com's "Notes from all over".)  shhhh! don't say "radioactive and come from Japan" or Toho will send you a "Cease and Desist" letter next! ¤ ¤ credit: karen | 08.20.02 at 05:01 AM | link- -this ¤ ¤ "Coming from Japan, you just know they're radioactive and breathe fire as well." Roachzilla? (the above statement was in no way meant to infringe on the copyright of Toho, Inc. or its ownership of the godzilla idea) ¤ ¤ credit: michele | 08.20.02 at 05:02 AM | link--this ¤ ¤oy. it's a limited victim population, but it's there. i'm far more scared of roaches than i am of anthrax. *twitch* ¤ ¤ credit: redsugar | 08.20.02 at 11:12 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Cockroaches eat eyelashes? Is that true? ::shudder:: ¤ ¤ credit: lynda | 08.20.02 at 01:40 PM | link--this ¤ ¤So that's where my beautiful eyelashes went! Oh well ... honestly, that reads more like something out of The Onion than MSNBC. :) I'm still laughing... ¤ ¤ credit: ste | 08.20.02 at 01:51 PM | link--this ¤ ¤EWWWWWWW. I'm sorry, but I had never seen a roach (that I know of) before we had (have) an infestation of them at work. they're gross. and nasty. and EWWWW. yuck yuck yuck! ¤ ¤ credit: erika | 08.20.02 at 06:59 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Roaches, hah! We'll sic our Eastern Lubber Grasshoppers on them. The terrorists, that is. I'd love to make a terrorist squeal like a little girl. ¤ ¤ credit: Andrea Harris | 08.20.02 at 11:39 PM | link--this ¤ ¤What they fail to say (which was mentioned in another article I've since lost) is that this roach thing is the personal crusade of one guy. This guy, from what I've read in the article, is a complete loon who mostly just wants to gross women out because they won't date him. Whee. I love when things get taken out of context by reporters and made into more than they are. ;P ¤ ¤ credit: VASpider | 08.21.02 at 12:24 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Of course, if they mentioned that, it wouldn't be juicy gossip, I guess. ¤ ¤ credit: VASpider | 08.21.02 at 12:24 AM | link--this ¤ ¤You mean the media isn't upstanding and trustworthy? I'm shocked! -this ¤ ¤
