Roaches are crunchy.

Fantastic with lightly sautéed and served with marinara sauce and an oaky Merlot.

So does this have implications for understanding Democrats?

Sure, For instance, they identify each other by their smell, and are easily fooled by robotic leaders.

in 39 percent of cases the robots, despite being programmed to prefer a lighter shelter, joined the cockroaches under the darker one.

Not so strange. The robots had some variability programmed in. First followers, then some leadership 'preferences' but still cohesive with the group.

Exactly!

"The roach armies are now developing robots which they will use to infiltrate us."

I for one welcome our new roach masters.......

[Arthur McGowan]

Hail, Roaches!

[Enchante]

Maybe some Demagogues are cockroaches, some are bedbugs, some are malarial mosquitos, and some are headlice.....

Good enough place to bump this thread and I like your freepname.

"On the other hand, in 39 percent of cases the robots, despite being programmed to prefer a lighter shelter, joined the cockroaches under the darker one."

Tiny robots programmed to act like roaches congressmen were able to blend into cockroach Capitol Hill society, according to researchers studying the collective behavior of insects politicians. Cockroaches Congressmen tend to self-organize into leaderless groups, seeming to reach consensus on where to rest together how to spend on pork projects and raise taxes.

This perfectly explains how Democrats reach a consensus without actually having to conspire. They all migrate towards the dark side. Its really simple.

Caramelgal, to quote Larry the Cable Guy, “I don’t care where you’re from, that’s funny right there!”

They all migrate towards the dark side.

Let's just hope they don't have the same evolutionary resilience.

“And what did you do at work today dear?”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

I wonder how this remarkable research would apply in infiltrating Al qaeda...what pheromone would work in that setting.
