This page is devoted to that pesky insect called the cockroach. Here you will find links to many sites dealing with cockroaches, cockroach control, and cockroach worship. The reason I have created this page is my profound interest in roaches. I think they are interesting looking critters, and I like the fear that they instill in the weak of spirit. I also think they look awfully meaty, and most certainly would taste like chicken, but nobody took pictures, so let's just pretend it never happened (for the subtlety-impaired: I once ate a roach--cooked, though. But don't try this at home; some people are actually allergic.). Furthermore, a few people in high school and junior high school called me Roach because of the similarities to my first name. The roach pictured on my page is from my insect collection
and was caught on the Caltech campus in Pasadena, California.
It is, in fact, dead. The
background of this page is just an Adobe Photoshop modified version of the
same image that can be seen in multiple copies on the page's title graphic.
Enjoy the links I have collected for myself and for you...
