Martin voluntarily got his guitar out one day and played it, but the piano is still his favorite. I haven't had the heart to take the piano away from him. He's now at like level 8 in it. Constantly plays the thing! I have to get my sims to tell him to take a break, crazy guy! I noticed he got a Stir Crazy thought bubble yesterday. Get a life, Martin! Go into town, watch a movie, drink a pint! Geesh!!

Piers did a radiation experiment with a cockroach. Why do scientists think this kind of thing is a good idea?

But apparently the roach was able to withstand the radiation.

So Piers did some research.

March of the Roaches
Get a sample of Gromphadorhina portentosa, aka, a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, give it a circuit board for a saddle, then wire up the antennas. Using a joystick, wirelessly deliver pulses on the order of a few hundred millivolts....the roaches could be marched into places where no other animal or robot can go, such as search-and-rescue missions through the rubble after an earthquake, or data-gathering operations in a radiation-contaminated area.
