Mythbusters to Test Cockroach Radiation Myth
redwoodtree writes "An article on the site for the Tri-City Herald sums it up perfectly: 'Contrary to popular belief, not a significant amount of research goes into cockroach radiation.' To test the old saw about 'the cockroaches being the only survivors of a nuclear war' Discovery Channel's Mythbusters are going out to Hanford Site, where plutonium was manufactured for the first nuclear bomb. It's the single most polluted nuclear waste site in the U.S. The Mythbusters are going to take cockroaches and other insects and apply successively higher doses of radiation in a controlled setting."
It isn't a myth until Mythbusters "busts" it. No well-known or accepted scientific tests have proven anything contrary to the common thoughts on the radiation resistance of cockroaches. PLEASE read what you are about to submit before you post it. There has been too much garbage spewed here lately.
What is it with animals that make make people go yuck that they then think it OK to do horrid things to them?

I'm an atheist and say fuck the cockroaches.
Oh and throw in Jesus as well, whiny liberal cunt that he was.
Strange how little cats and dogs are protected on TV
Strange that people like yourself can't tell the difference between a cockroach and a dog.
Do you hate antibiotics as well, because it kills bacteria? Exactly how far down the scale do you draw your line?
