196 : Lipasophobia. Part II

Kebelakangan ni takde cerita nak dikongsi bersama, takde idea nak menulis. Hidup terasa kosong. Kekosongan dan keseorangan. Siang malam termenung sendirian menghibur hati.

Hanya nak kongsi bersama pasal lipas lagi. Kepada yang lipasophobia, diharap janganlah baca kelak meloyakan tekak plak. Kerap kali kita tidak mengendahkan kehadiran lipas di dunia ni. Tetapi, setiap yang diciptakan Allah itu ada tujuannya. Cuma kita manusia belum mampu lagi menyingkap rahsia disebalik ciptaan itu. Fakta2 ini diperolehi di SINI dan kebanyakkan fakta yang ditemui lebih kurang sama jer..


18 interesting (and yucky) facts about roaches

1. The largest roach ever discovered lives in South America, is six inches long, and has a one-foot wingspan.

2. There are about 4000 species of cockroach, of which 20 are associated with human habitations.

3. Cockroaches can easily live without their heads for an entire week, because its brain is not in its head. It’s brain is all over his body. It dies only because it doesn’t have a mouth (you cut it off with the head), and so it cannot drink, and it dies of thirst.

4. Cockroaches have white blood.

5. A typical cockroach has 6 legs with at least 18 knees.

6. A female roach mates only once, and stays pregnant for the rest of her life.

7. “Cockroach tea” is known to have medicinal properties: it is used to treat edema (inflammation). Also, processed cockroaches have been used for hundreds of years to cure illnesses.

8. Cockroaches have been around for a long, long, long time. They are believed to have originated during the Carboniferous era, about 280 million years ago.

9. Cockroaches spend 75% of their time resting. Lazy.

10. Cockroaches aren’t always coloured dirty-brown. Tropical cockroaches have all sorts of colours: red, green, yellow…

11. Cockroaches can hold their breath for 40 minutes. The best a human can do is about 9 minutes. That’s why humans shouldn’t have a breath holding contest with cockroaches

12. Cockroaches have exoskeletons: their skeletons are outside their bodies, which protects their bodies.

13. Cockroaches shed their outer skin, like snakes do. A cockroache which has just shed its skin is white, with black eyes. It remains this way until the new skin comes on.

14. Along with being used for medicinal purposes, cockroaches have been used in sauces and appetizers.

15. Female cockroaches release “perfumes” called pheromones. These pheromones attract male cockroaches.

16. A cockroach doesn’t need a large hole or crack in the wall to get through. A hole with as small a diameter as .5 mm can easily hide a young roach.

17. Cockroaches breathe through their sides, and not through their noses.

18. Cockroaches can run at a speed of up to 3 miles an hour. That’s the walking speed of the average human.


Ada satu komen yang agak menarik ditinggal oleh salah seorang pembaca yang berbunyi "If you cut off one roaches head and then the legs on another roach. Then glue the legless roach ontop of the headless roach and connect them with wires the legless roach will drive the headless roach untill it dies".

Ada yang nak mencuba?

  9. Salam Atikah,

    benchmarking pejabat kesihatan kalau ada lilat maka confirm dapur kedai makan tu kotor. hukuman dia tutup dua minggu.

    maknanya kalau umah kita ada lipas maknanya rumah kita kotor juga ke. ya ampun ya mahap adik kakok.
