I hadn't either. Here's what appears to be a republished contemporary news article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/01/martin-luther-kings-mother-slain-in-church-1974

A cockroach can live for a week without its head. Due to their open circulatory system, and the fact that they breathe through little holes in each of their body segments, they are not dependent on the mouth or head to breathe. The roach only dies because without a mouth, it can't drink water and dies of thirst.

Holy crap, why hasn't there been a horror film about giant cockroaches?!

Lawyers,  being very closely related to cockroaches, sue anyone trying to make a monster movie about  them out of species loyalty.

Comic book mash-up in aisle 9.
One of the newest things for comic books, or, newest that I have seen is to take the characters from 1 comic book + them to a 2nd comic book = a 3rd comic book.

Ash + Danger Girl
Ash + Vampirella
Ash + Xena : Warrior Princess

Batman + the Shadow

Betty & Veronica + Harley & Ivy

Conan the Barbarian + Wonder Woman

TV's Batman & Robin + TV's Steed & Peel
TV's Batman & Robin + TV's Wonder Woman

Of course, this is only a selection and there are, I am sure, others.

Next time: all hat and no cattle, or, how much would you pay for hat?

Mimic also dealt with the big bugaboo about giant insects: Lack of lungs limiting size.

Fact of the day: Some online christian groups claim that the new Zealand mosque mass murderer is an atheist.   new Zeland police have identified him as a christian.

From Dan Jones' The Templars
Who I'd recommend for his historical non-fiction and anticipating his next book.

In the Holy Land, during the time period of the Crusades . . .

Between 1002-1190, inclusive
16,967 Westerners died
in accidents, in battles, in executions, in massacres

Between 1191-1250, inclusive
8414 Westerners died
soldiers and civilians

Between 1251-1291, inclusive
18,698 Westerners died
men, women, and children

And then it was all over, for the most part, and during that time it averaged out to 3 deaths a week for 289 years, and the West was no nearer to wrestling the Holy Land from the Infidels, then it was at the beginning of the Crusades.

Next time: odds and ends

Fact: if the last Hardcore, radical,  intolerant fundamantalist chrsitan fanatic on earth killed the last Hardcore, radical,  intolerant fundamantalist muslim fanatic on earth and died 30 seconds later from the injuries he sustained in the fight the world would be a much better place.

Hopefully, they both managed to take the last hardcore, radical, intolerant, fundamentalist atheist with them. If they don't the world is in just as s**tty place a place as before.

Fact: The words "better" & "worse" indicate opinions, not facts.

Fact: The internet can't remember this.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
