Fun Facts Of The Day

To survive in hostile environments, cockroaches rely on their own vermin: Blattabacterium, a microbe that hitched a ride inside roaches 140 million years ago, and hasn’t left since.
Researchers who sequenced the Blattabacterium genome have found that it converts waste into molecules necessary for a roach to survive. Every cockroach is a testimony to the power of recycling — thanks to their microbes, they don’t even need to pee.

While this may make the cockroach the envy of beer drinkers the world over, surely this will not spare them from the bottom of our shoes moving in their direction at high velocity, nasty little bugs they are.

Surprisingly, a common fact about a different variety of cockroach, the DCius Democraticas Socialistus has gone unnoticed.  The DDS must spew raw feces from their mouths daily to survive.  Luckily, there is a lower form of cockroach, the North American Entitlement Serf, that finds the feces an irresistible treat and gobbles it up as quickly as its spewed.  Thus keeping our streets clean.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
