    Cockroaches are becoming "invincible!!"

    Yeah, I'm sure the average household has any number of options when it comes to creating large clouds of deadly vapor. Come to think of it, phosgene probably isn't too hard to make and it might be one of your safer choices. According to Wikipedia, it forms a visible, green cloud, and you can...

    Our IQs may be at their peak, and a decline about to begin...

    What breed of dog to get?

    I have been confronted with an opportunity to adopt a new dog. He is half pit bull, half hound with high ratio of beagle. He is under two years old, and his current owners neglect him, though they don't abuse him. He's also very calm and friendly, and my friend has seen him catch rabbits...
