Stuck with ideas for Valentine's Day? Well the Bronx Zoo is here to help. They will let you name a Madagasgar Hissing Cockroach after your loved one for the low price of $10 (proceeds to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society). Just imagine the look on his or her face upon receiving the certificate of having a hissing roach named after them...what could possibly go wrong?After all, according to the website, "Naming a roach in honor of someone near and dear to your heart shows that you've noticed how resilient, resourceful, and loyal that person is. Or maybe it's in recognition of your one and only's virility, or strength in the face of high radiation. You're not afraid to say, "Baby, you're a roach!""
And you can even go to the Bronx Zoo to see the cockroach. They have a life expectancy of 2-3 years, much longer than flowers!

"Name a Roach
"Flowers wilt. Chocolates melt. Roaches are forever."
Lol. I can think of more than one person who would be insulted by this. My mother (old country) would be offended. Now if it was a kissing roach . . .
Oh I've got a name for a Hissing Cockroach......and it's the same as my mother-in-law's (just kidding....maybe.....)
I had to sit in a meeting once, while one of these giant Madagascar hissing cockroach died on a pane of glass sprayed with Raid. They do hiss loudly when they die. The entomologist smugly said that these insects sometimes can "take flight" when heated by the projectors bulb. He explained how it affects their central nervous system. He also talked about the products long viable residual effect. I almost passed out watching it.... still makes my flesh crawl to think about it.
And hale, you better be pretty darn confident to come across with that line. My money is on that you are wrong.
