Students at a Texas A&M university
found a dead cockroach in their lab and what did they do? Give it a
befitting funeral. The roach, named “Rosie,” was left unattended in the
anthropology building for two weeks, according to a post on Imgur by
user jimmyevil, presumably lying in state.
Cigarettes, flowers, stones, notes and coins were all placed next to her
corpse in the following days. A poster reading “never forget” was also
added, while a Post-It note said, “You were always there to say hello to
me in the morning, Rosie! We will miss you.” Poor Rosie was eventually
cremated on a funeral pyre in grand style.
