Under Priced Way To Remember Your Obnoxious Ex
I don't know about you guys, but I don't always want to go by an ex's house and try to think of creative ways to mess with their mind. It's too cold out.
Why go to a jeweler or go out to dinner when you can give your loved one a Gromphadorhina portentosa?
This year, for Valentine's Day, VIA Aquarium in Schenectady, New York says the perfect gift for your loved one is a Madagascar hissing cockroach. Well. It's probably more for someone you DON'T like all that well. Basically, the zoo is offering, for a small donation, to name a cockroach, rodent, or veggie after the person of your choice. And then that cockroach, rodent, or veggie..... will be fed to another animal in the zoo.
This Valentine’s Day, VIA Aquarium in Schenectady is offering a hilariously petty, yet oddly endearing way to mark the holiday: For just $1, you can sponsor a cockroach and have it named after that “special someone.” Your sponsored roach will be fed out to one of our reptiles by our Senior Reptile Keeper, Randy. The best part? The whole thing will be recorded for your replaying pleasure: “You can watch your special roach over and over.”
National Geographic says that the Madagascar hissing cockroach is two to three inches long and has a life span of up to five years. It hisses by exhaling air through its breathing holes. A small colony can eat a large carrot in a single day. No word on how long it'd take them to eat that box of chocolates.
The deadline to participate is tonight (sorry for the last minute notice, but you've got til 10:00 p.m., so you can do it after work) Thursday, Feb. 13, so if you’re looking to make Valentine’s Day extra memorable this year, don’t wait. Find out more on the VIA Aquarium website. So yeah, you're associating an ex or whoever with something gross, but for a good cause. This Valentine’s, join in the fun by donating to symbolically name a cockroach, rodent, or veggie after your not-so-special someone!
Here's the link. Have fun!
Hissingly yours,
