Never seen one... (In Norway)
I think you may have company now...:ninja:

[SIZE=+1]Cockroaches creep into Norwegian life[/SIZE]

Norway long ago got the dubious distinction of being associated with a rat, but was pretty much free of cockroaches. Now the creepy crawly things are making inroads all over the country. Reidar Mehl, head of the pest unit at the national health institute, tells newspaper Aftenposten that there's been a marked increase in the country's cockroach population since the early 1990s.

The problem, he says, is worst in the larger cities and towns of southern Norway, but the far north is far from immune. "Russian fishing boats, for example, have often brought cockroaches with them that make their way onto land," Mehl told Aftenposten. "These roaches get a foothold in many coastal towns up north." But he attributes most of the new cockroach problem to increased international travel. "We're traveling more than we did earlier, and imports from foreign countries have increased," he said. He cites reported infestations at some asylum centers in Norway that house newly arrived refugees.

Globetrotting Norwegians also can unwittingly bring cockroaches home with them. "The number of cockroaches in Norway is increasing every single year, because they also multiply," said Eilif Lundberg of Anticimex, one of the biggest pest control firms in Norway."We can't just blame foreigners for the problem.".
 
*Looks around suspiciously*
 
And to add insult to it, there is an imported species in NYC recently discovered that doesn't mind the cold weather. Expect them to visit Norway soon.
 
So, how much do flamethrowers go for these days?
 
Earwigs got their name because they were found falling out of powdered wigs back in the day and people thought they came out of people's ears.
 
Slushy, stop making sense and having people calm down in a thread meant to scare and freak them out. You'll get bad karma.

Might want to check eBay...:woot:

lol...I've never had to deal with cockroaches in my "personal" home, but while I was in the Navy I encountered more than a few cockroaches. In Japan, I encountered the biggest ****ing cockroach I have EVER seen in my life. It looked like a damn mouse!

Roaches like mice find their way on Navy ships and submarines. That's why I found it hard to believe there were no roaches in Norway. G-D roaches are every friggin' where! And as Teelie mentioned they're the most adaptable little suckers on the face of this good earth. They will survive us all...no doubt.

I heard a rumor during my Navy time of a cockroach infestation on a Navy ship (it shall remain nameless) that was so bad they had to dry dock the ship to clear it out. Nasty ****... That little roach infestation cost tax payers a couple million dollars.

Not going to look that up (the NSA is watching :ninja:) but I do know amazingly that they are legal to possess in the US. Or they were the last time I'd read about them.

Although it's not hard to make one cheap. One can of hairspray and a lighter is a cheap but handy flamethrower so I can see why it'd be futile to outlaw them.

Nah, man.
 
Great....in Florida....roaches are pretty much your neighbors. I'll be sleeping with a flamethrower.
 
you start boasting that there are no roaches in a country and then people will ship compartments of stuff with roaches in them.

Enjoy.
 
The roaches will do that themselves. They won't stop until every inch of the planet is theirs.
 
This is news? I thought this was fairly common. This happened to my mom. A pregnant cockroach burrowed into her ear while she was sleeping and she went to the hospital in the middle of the night with terrible pain. The doctor took it out by splashing it with vinnegar and pulling it out with tweezers piece by piece.

Heh...no way you really thought that was common.
