having trouble getting accepted to a university??
well, fret no more! the university of california is using a cockroach petting zoo to attract potential students and their parents at an up coming recruitment fair...
this petting zoo from hell supposedly targets students looking at careers as science teachers or engineers. or engineers??? what in the bloody hell does buliding bridges/motors/roads/dams/water treatment plants/spreadsheets have to with cockroaches??? not taking into account my bias as an enginner, this is silly! science teacher & cockroaches i can understand but engineers? maybe they have a different definition of engineer down there in sunny california... all that sun can get to one's brain eventually...
so if you're feel up too it, go touch some cockroaches! including palm-sized madagascar hissing cockroaches... and, AND (wait for it...) cockroaches that emit a foul, ammonia-like scent!!! why would you want to touch that? how would that make you interested in the science of cockroaches? all it would do is make you hand smell foul and ammonia-like!
