Has anyone had any problems with man-eating cockroaches recently? I encountered a rather large one on my way to work this morning, though it ran away before I was able to kill it. Judging from the brief time I spent fighting it off, it seems fairly inept and shouldn't pose much threat to those who are used to fighting, but I would like to

Man-eating cockroaches?

[congenialsinner]

Apparently.

[youresoshort]

I see. That certainly is disturbing...

What exactly did they look like?

[congenialsinner]

One would be fairly difficult to miss. I would guess the one I encountered was about fifteen feet long. One insectoid, cockroach-shaped head in the usual place, and a smaller, human-shaped head just below it.

[youresoshort]

A human shaped head below it?

(...)

And it attempted to attack you?

[congenialsinner]

It did, though not at all skillfully.

[youresoshort]

Well, at least we know it's unable of doing too much harm to those who are capable of fighting. Though, I suppose the same can't be said for anyone else...

Thank you, I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

[congenialsinner]

From talking to some others, it seems likely that there are more than one. I have no way to say how competent those might be at acquiring a meal, so it would probably be wise to exercise caution regardless.

[youresoshort]

I see. I'm afraid I haven't seen any of them around, but it's certainly a good thing to know. We'll all just have to be more careful.
