Well, considering it would be unable to eat, that's feasible. They would probably do something more if they did much besides eat.

They do do something besies eat, they terrorize entire families and eat children.

Eating children is eating. 😬
And they terrorize entire families while eating their children.

That's hardly staying in one spot, not doing anything.

Doing nothing and not doing much are two different things.

Just don't get the lighter too close to the can, and make sure the flame doesn't run up the spray. That aside, go ahead.

Yea, Ive seen the uber huge ones Dawson, when Im in Puerto Rico. They get big enough to devour small children

Of course he's not. But they do come much larger than what most of us see in our homes. I had a teacher once who told use stories about the roaches in Lousiana. -shudder- Very large with fully developed wings.

A cockroach crawled under my computer chair once while I was at the computer. I had my feet up, I saw this little figure shift across the carpet, looked down, and screamed "HOLY F*CK!".

I picked him up with a little container, studied him skuttling around, and threw him out the front door. 😬

I was hoping you wouldn't point that out.

Do roaches crap? Child-sized mounds of roach poo would count as something other than eating. I think it'd be littering. Polluting? Something or other.

I like spiders. I like honey, and, thus bees. As long as they leave me alone, I like wasps too. It's just cockroaches that bug me.

They just run it through their systems again to pull out any nutrients they missed the first time around. Very efficient. Eventually, what can't be used will come out the other end.

Right, so back to those human child sized piles of dung...
