They’ve obviously never been to Florida - I don’t care what they call them, they are giant cockroaches!!!!

OR Texas. It's little known but we have a rodeo pro circuit for cockroach riding.

How does excess oxygen in the air affect carbon-14 readings? hmmm . . .

In this case, not at all. Anything older than 50K years old doesn't have enough C14 left to reliably measure.

Sweeet!
Now my plan for success will truly succeed.
Next year, when the praying mantids are hatching, I’ll get some O2 tanks.
Chain the six-foot monsters to my conservative signs in my yard to guard ‘em while I’m at work.

(Might take care of the stray cat issues in the neighborhood as well....)
