Cockroaches cannot "survive a nuclear blast." That is absurd. There is a truth behind the idea, though, which is that insects like cockroaches will probably continue to thrive on Earth after politics and our insatiable, filthy economy have made the place uninhabitable for humans.
Unfortunately, what is meant by this whole idea is the fact that genes in cockroaches are actually divide at a much slower rate. This allows for any mutations to be corrected within a reasonable timeframe before this replication continues. The fact is that although cockroaches are more resistant to radiation poisoning, out of bugs in general, the cockroach would be most likely one of the first to go.
Why not?
Don't bother me while I am trying to do taxes.
ilovewoogimusic Nobody even bother trying this it does not work at all so he must have changed it so don't even bother wasting your time and trying this out.
"Maybe, but the only lifeforms that can survive a nuclear holocaust are cockroaches." That's not true humans can and most likely survive a nuclear holocaust simply bc unless you are caught with in 50 miles of a nuclear bomb or something of that nature you will most likely survive. For how long depends on how much radiation is left in the atmosphere and the full extent of the holocaust. (EDIT BY: LEFCOJ) fruit flies can withstand up to 100,000 rads! that's 100 times more than a human cockroaches can only survive about 50,000 rads. if you are caught within six miles of the blast radius we will die. but...there is hope if you are about 10 miles from the blast you still want to take procautionary measures(because you might get the fallout!!!!) if you have a basement under or more than six inches below the ground HIDE IN THERE!!!! THAT IS YOUR BEST CHANCE!!!!! radiation can only go six inches under the ground. if you don't have a basement and it is safe to go outside if there is no fallout, wear boots and cover up with warm clothes that you will need to dispose of right after use, because its gonna be cold!!! that's why its called nuclear winter it will be just like winter in Alaska. you will want to dig six inches of the soil in your yard and dispose of it. but you better get a gun because once the blast is over, its gonna be hell. there will be rrobbers and looters trying to steal, or maybe kill you to get your supplies. stay in the safest place with food and water. for more information, go to www.YouTube.com and type in "Protect and Survive Videos" these vids were issued to Britain in the 1970s and80s, when the nuclear threat was very high. so be safe, stock up, and LIVE!!!!! eventually the cockroaches will die of hunger. You forgot two major lifeforms that will also survive: most forms of groundworms and waterbears. I saw an episode of family guy that proved that humans can survive a nuclear holocaust. whats up alex
In WW2 I believe they were trying to.
there is no point in trying since there is no point in life, go away if you think otherwise BoB
it never says so dont bother trying to figure it out
this website sukes dont bother trying it out
Cockroaches do not make clicking noises when held. However, there are some types of cockroach that makes hissing and stridulating sounds enough to scare a dog or anything that is trying to eat them.
no
dont even bother trying HLBTZCAICSKDDC
yes but don't bother trying as it is to hard to figure out, in a sentence.
