Like many of you, I'm a big fan of Mythbusters. I have finally come up with the perfect myth for them to bust. Cockroaches.
See? I know that you already know the myth, which is that cockroaches will survive a nuclear war. Now of all the myths that I know the mythbuster guys like, this one has all of the great kinds of things, but only if they do it a factor at a time. What are the factors of a nuclear explosion that will prove deadly to humans (or at least very dangerous) that a cockroach can walk away from? Heat? Light? Blast pressure? Radiation? Environmental devastation? EMP? Flying debris? Sounds like a really cool bunch of tests to me. Let's see if they take the bait.
I'm actually kind of surprised that nobody else had submitted the suggestion to the Mythbusters site.
