    That's what happens when you don't chew your food!

    Well you know what they say about eating dozens of cockroaches.


  • Registered Users Posts: 260 ✭✭Franticfrank


    Strange that he was the only person to die out of all the contestants. Maybe he really wanted to eat that snake as well...


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭malarkus


    This story really bugs me.

    Darwin award 2012 methinks.

    They can survive nuclear fallout and live for a number of days headless. Why would anyone eat a load of'em?

    Lived in Oz in the 90's, at a party one night A Cockroach snuck into my stubby of cider, ...........

    unfortunately I only found out when I got to the last swig.

    wasn't very nice, but cured me of any phobias I had with OZ insects

    Officials are waiting for the results of an autopsy to determine Mr Archbold's cause of death.

    Yerrah, sure 'twas a nasty bug that did for him in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,633 ✭✭✭Feeona


    Autopsy results in : Mr Archbold died of inordinate stupidity.

    They eat them in the Bangkok Hilton for protein. I once read. In a story book.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    Idiot. I feel no pity for people like this. It's the same as a fella who goes swimming in dangerous shark infested water and gets his two legs chewed off.
    Good enough for him.
    One less fool in the world.


  • Registered Users Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Johnnio13


    Jesus, never thought about the coroner opening him up and the dinner crawling out of him. Nasty.

    Definate Darwin award though. I wonder how many roaches you have to eat for them to kill you though. Nasty way to go.
    On the plus side, the pet shop will be infested with new customers.

    Didn't read the "roach" part in the title of this thread :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,133 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I wouldn't eat anything with "cock" in it, for anything.

    Would you like a roach?

    Gives a whole new meaning to having a Tummy bug....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,879 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    How many did he eat?

    I remember picking up a cockroach and throwing it against the ground to kill it. Picked it up then with a tissue coz it had burst open. When i looked closely i saw a load of really tiny little moving things. Not sure if it was a parasite or a baby cockroach in the belly, but either way, this fellas gonna have millions of the little bastards in his belly! If the autopsy isnt done soon, it'll be a like a volcano of cockroaches when he finally gets opened up!!
