      Well, insects in general are much better at surviving nuclear events than people, but as far as insects go cockroaches are pretty poor. They do however recieve extra protection from their desire to hide in cracks in concrete, etc which absorb some of the radiation before it gets to them.

      It means something along the lines of 'wealthy guardian', 'happy guardian' or 'prosperous guardian'.

      I have no idea why my parents chose it.

      What opinions are available for me to have?

      I don't really have much to do with crabs!

      Surely the answer to life and the universe must be part of the answer to the everything?

      I don't expect they all have the same answer anyway.

      I tend to be up very early, but I am usually fine in both.

      Well eggs had been around well before birds evolved.

      If you restrict the question to chicken eggs, then the egg still comes first. The first animal(s) that you recognise (in some way) to be chickens developed in an egg that was created by that chicken(s).

      I have no idea what I'll be doing in 2 years time.

      Extrapolating not too different - computers and science (and often insects) have been on the radar for many years.

      Spanish, of the Latin American flavour. Would make field trips in the neotropics that bit easier.

      That's way back in time - I don't remember too much.

      I think going to Lakeside was probably one of the better moments. I don;t really remember hating anything.

      The people I like the most I'm still friends with and see on a regular basis. I don't loathe people, but I did find some people irritating.

      If this were to happen, I would probably only eat at a restaurant once in the next five years.

      This changes all the time! At the moment I'm a big fan of Haaniella spp. and Anisomorpha spp., but I also really like a number of cockroaches, snails, etc.
