They only wear pink when they are in trouble. At all other times its Old Crusty. But seriously now, who'd a thunk theres a cockroach out there that is longer than Willy's willy? Must be what Hillary! is thinking.

It wasn't a cockroach, it was a palmetto bug.

No, not a cockroach in her case. As someone remarked on FR not too long ago, Helen Thomas proves how embalmers have perfected their art....

Joking aside, they should compare DNA to see if it is a remote ancestor of the Hilster.

...a giant bug more than 3 inches long...

It's not often that one sees the word "giant" used to describe something a mere three inches long...this is good news for Bill Clinton...

"-- a giant bug more than 3 inches long that lived 300 million years ago, some 55 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed the earth."

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! There are cockroaches that big today in South Louisiana. These guys don't have a clue.

Yep. I lived in St. George, Utah, and the critters there are big enough to serve as rock lobsters. I saw roaches running across the sidewalks and up the walls that looked like skateboards. Anybody who leaves dirty dishes and food out DESERVES to have their silverware carried away by these things!
