so you crush them with the liquid soap bottle right?

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #5 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:52:22 PM »

Lol, no. You pour some soap on them and they drown. They drown because there is no oxygen in soap.

Broni · « **Reply #6 on:** August 06, 2008, 12:09:47 AM »

How can you track all of them down to pour that soap on them?

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2008, 12:12:15 AM »

Can't you smell them?

i know this is random but back when i was 7 i remember i found a bullfrog(named it larry), and kept it as a pet for a couple weeks. all i feed it was cockroaches. but the mistake was that a few years later, i got a wart on my index finger from larry.

gamerx365 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 06, 2008, 11:03:14 AM »

i found a toad walking home from watching the dark night last week and i picked it up and it peed a lot so i dropped it and then i thought it was done peeing so i picked it back up. it wasnt done peeing. my girlfriend was laughing at me and complaining that she wouldn't touch me now because im going to get warts. lol.

Get a hammer, hit your floor, and pick up the loose tiles. Then you will see them.

Maybe you're not looking hard enough.

Also, there are two types of cockroaches. Small ones (ant size) and big ones (Drmsucks picture)

In my house, I see about 1 small one every week hanging around behind the toilet.

seems like a more natural repellent compared to Raid

nah. leaves really just aren't natural.

Zylstra · « **Reply #49 on:** August 13, 2008, 07:38:56 PM »

(Didnt read the entire topic)

Cockroaches have hairs on their back and legs that detect wind movement, so when you go to crush them, they feel the breeze that goes by, and start running. Its a nerve impulse, the running action happens without the cockroaches brain realizing it.

In fact, cockroaches can live about two weeks without their head, they die of dehydration. They can go 40 minutes without oxygen, I suspect that the soap is poisonous to them, and that its not a matter of having no oxygen.

i liked the MythBusters episode during Shark Week

Zylstra · « **Reply #56 on:** August 14, 2008, 02:46:39 PM »

I dont really like TV...

There are a few shows that I will record and watch without commercials:
House, Scrubs, LOST, Desperate Housewives, Good Eats, Dead Like Me, Dr. Who (classic, and new), Red Dwarf, and my soap operas (not something I watch a lot... I got caught up in the plot of "One Life to Live" since Rex and whatshisface got stuck in 1968, a very twisty plot)
That may seem like a lot, but, if you consider that I mostly watch new episodes, that changes the story a bit.
(I do watch Scrubs repeats a lot though)

The point remains clear: I dont dedicate much time to TV.

computeruler · « **Reply #57 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:12:57 PM »

i usually watch tv at the same time of my computer... i love good eats lol this is why we need a chat lol
