How long can a cockroach survive without its head?

That's the question MSN is asking today. I would like to ask the blogging cockroach that question but I don't think it matters. You see his significant other is French and hopefully the lack of head is not even a question.

hey trooper
i saw this yesterday but tommy
--he's the boy whose computer i use--
threw me off the computer because school is out
and he wanted to play runescape
looks like i have to compete with guys with swords
until he goes away to camp in a couple of weeks
and then i won't be able to use it at all damn

anyway how about a link to that msn story...
mean bastards probably made a little cockroach guillotine
to carry out their sick experiments
so what if we can survive a bit longer without our heads...
i mean it's not like we're the only one who can do it
guillotines are a subject that comes up sometimes
here at the house what with mom being french and all
tommy once found a site with stories of all the heads
that opened their eyes and looked at the executioner in france
yikes
and dad being your basic cambridge liberal
and mom being your basic european pain in the butt
are opposed to capital punishment
but not too much
mom being french is also not very guilty about being mean
to criminals
prison reform in france means changing the time
of the daily beating of inmates to before breakfast
so it won't interfere with their digestion

anyway tommy's grandpa who is a retired cop
used to tell the story of some old-time prison riot
where the prisoners captured the warden
and put a wire noose around his neck
they were out in the exercise yard near the baseball field
and the worst happened yep
somebody pulled on the noose and took the warden's head off
his corpse took off running like..uh..
a chicken with its head cut off
and one of the inmates being pretty mean himself
yelled 'hey warden you didn't touch second base'
which proves that not only cockroaches
can survive without a head
but people always want to prove how superior they are
to primitive insects such as myself

all i've got to say is that we didn't invent the guillotine
or commit base running errors like that
