There has got to be a reason that a visceral sense of loathing and disgust for those things got tucked away in our lizard brains. In a secular sense, in Richard Dawkins’ world, this was probably because our ancient ancestors were created by aliens bearing similar shapes and made the hissing sound while sucking our brains out with a straw. In a Christian sense, while God is clearly inordinately fond of beetles, He must have decided that perhaps we should have a well-developed fight or flight response with respect to things not immediately tastey that hiss at us. Go figure.

They must be endearing to a few folks because they are ugly, and fussy (hissing) like liberals, but a hissing cockroach can never ever raise your taxes.

Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches don't scare me.
They look like big roly-poly bugs. It's the roaches that live in my house that freak me out. Even the ‘cute’ one in Wall-e gave me the creeps. Probably because they can fly, and they do so very erratically. You never know when one's going to run into you.

Some people even encrust hissers with Swarovski crystals and wear them as necklaces.

Some humans are very strange.

I love hissing cockroaches! We worked with them in biology lab and they were tons of fun. We let them crawl around on the table and sit on our fingers, and a few kids even took pictures of them with their cell phones. They’re really neat creatures.....so don’t compare them to Congress!

Thanks nick.
Some people even encrust hissers with Swarovski crystals and wear them as necklaces. Others keep them as pets, or as classroom teaching aids. The Pueblo Zoo has collections in its Education Animal Room and on display in the Discovery Room, and also employs them in educational programs. These "living fossils" have changed little in 250 million years.
They must be going with walkers by now though.

Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.
