....Well... that is a good way to work up a strong immune system... ...in the same way that throwing children into a firefight makes strong soldiers. But eating cockroaches, that's a new one. Try eating the ones down here in Florida. The bloody things can fly around and leave what seems to be cherry-scented farts behind as they go.

..Chinese Water Deer.

We don't have cockroaches. They can't survive in the cold climate up here. WHICH MEANS THEY'RE NOT AWESOME! >: D

What about tardigrades?!
Check this out (taken from Wikipedia); Tardigrades are polyextremophiles and are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures of -273°C (-460 °F), close to absolute zero,[5] temperatures as high as 151 °C (303 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals,[6] and almost a decade without water.[7] In September 2007, tardigrades were taken into low Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission and for 10 days were exposed to the vacuum of space. After they were returned to Earth, it was discovered that many of them survived and laid eggs that hatched normally, making these the only animals known to be able to survive the vacuum of space.[8]

Well, they hardly count, they're tiny.

Well, they hardly count, they're tiny. See! You aren't admitting they're awesome! But I according to Wikipedia they're 0.1-1.5mm.

Hardly. I'd like to see one of those bastards survive when I drop them into a tank of petrol. And run though my engine. THEN WE'LL SEE WHO'S THE SURVIVOR! >>>: D
EDIT: Moral: If they're small enough to fit into the cylinder of a running engine, they don't count.

Funny thing is, they'd probably survive.

Up in Oregon, I thought of two more: Snails and banana slugs. They're so awesome. Like little adorable aliens.
