Who will control the poor buggers once we've all been wiped out and they rule the world?

^cyborg cockroaches are here..what next?
£61 a pop - given how fast the blighters can move, you would have to hope you have installed it correctly.

Lest we forget.

Anyway, it's a cockroach. You'd wack them with a shoe without a second thought!

Devistating, and now it's headed for Vietnam, that's terrifying!

Interesting article.

I love it how they declare a 'revolution' because of some bike rides. It'll take generations to change Los Angeles, the single most disastrous town planning failure on the planet. Lots of copycats, but most are much smaller, and it looks as if the copycat momentum in large Chinese cities may already be slowing down.

Terrifying. I was in Vietnam when a "regular" typhoon passed through last month. The storm really wasn't like anything I've ever witnessed and the flooding and mess the following day were seriously impressive. This is on order of magnitude more powerful, frankly it's amazing anyone could have survived it.

To put it in context the storm we had in the UK a couple of weeks back had occasional winds gusting up to 80mph (but mostly not above 60mph as far as I understand it) . The Cat 2 Typhoon we were in had sustained winds of around 100mph. That's a whole different kettle of fish as was like nothing I've ever seen. It really did feel pretty apocalyptic. But this thing seems to have sustained winds up near 200mph. That's just so far off my scale of comprehension. I wonder that there's a single building standing. Frightening stuff.

Have you never been to Birmingham?

Appropriate subject material for here.

Old woman sounds like a nutcase, but some cyclists definitely deserve being assaulted with poo.

maybe he was riding a foffa and she's on-here.

No mention of a post-faeces kidney punch, so probably not.

No they don't. No-one deserves that, it's a disgusting thing to do.
