Maybe he was just hungry -- contestant consumes cockroaches for iPod [The Mac Observer] This story is proof that not all cockroaches will survive a nuclear holocaust. 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.
