WARNING: THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
This morning I woke up to my cat making very strange noises. I was a little groggy, so it took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on! I turned toward Dot and saw that she was staring intently at the ceiling. I looked up in the direction to which she was so intent and saw a blob. It looked like someone had accidentally smeared paint as it was the same color as my accent wall. I wondered why I had never noticed it before! Everything is a shapeless blur without my glasses so I put my glasses on and saw that this "blob" was making its way down the wall at this point. My first reaction was to curse the fact that I don't have a roommate (or spouse) to kill it for me; and secondly, looked around for a shoe to take care of the deed myself.
Following my successful mission, I began to wonder from whence it came and how many more there might be around my 800 square feet of fun! I looked at it closely and my mind began to wander! I began to think about how the frequent baths I have given my pets has washed away lots of fleas down the drain. What if I was watching evolution as it happens? Is it possible that all those fleas could morph into one medium-sized cockroach (at the very least, it sounds like a good B-grade movie to me)? Is that such an outlandish thought? After all, fuzzy caterpillars evolve into beautiful butterflies, why can't dirty fleas turn into nasty cockroaches? Man, I'm gonna get rich with this discovery! Just remember folks, you heard it here first!
