ROTF! *wheeze* I was laughing so hard at your response Howard, I think I've bruised my lungs. Awesome. And now I actually have to go write up a solution to the cockroach problem... :)

Oh yeah, I'm guessing the size of the cockroach is of the "teenager" variety. Not one of those big...Gozilla size man-eaters that could pick its mandibles using the croc body in "Lake Placid".
