Super Roaches Born in Space
The Russians have begun a new arms race, and we may be entering a second, more terrifying, Cold War with the former Communist super power. But instead of fighter jets or nuclear missiles, this time it's "super cockroaches" that the Russians have bred.
The super roaches were conceived and born aboard the Russian satellite Foton-M, proving once-and-for-all a basic tenant of cheesy sci-fi films: Space radiation and/or zero gravity is capable of granting super powers. The new roaches are faster, more energetic, and more resilient than regular cockroaches. The super roaches' bodies and limbs even grow faster.
Are these super cockroaches meant to enslave us all? Or are they just here to boss around other cockroaches?
