In a contest that would turn the stomach of the steeliest Orkin man (or woman), a man gobbled up 13 roaches (a baker's dozen) and was rewarded with a free Apple iPod. The pests were oven-roasted, not fried, so the winner got a bonus -- lots of lean protein. He said he'd eat them again, but the third place finisher was too busy throwing up to comment. The bug buffet was held in New York to promote a new IMAX film about what else ... bugs.
