Madagascar Hissing Roaches

They are selling the live little babies on eBay for only $80 a pop. But they are not your kitchen variety roaches--they are bred and fed esp. as pets. And come with leashes, so you can attach the little critturs to your bosom, and--this is the exciting part!--they are bejeweled!

Someone actually takes the time and expends the patience to apply little jewels to their carapaces. (Not any other part of their little brown bodies--on the carapace the jewels don't retard movement or impact their health.)

Imagine: your own creepy crawly jewelry.

But certainly they aren't for everyone. (Roaches give me the geegees big time and these are at least two inches long.) Paris Hilton, maybe?
