Pet Names
‘WE British love our pets. Kill a man or invade a country and well debate the whys and wherefores until were all blue in the face. But be cruel to a dog and youll be stung up from the nearest lamppost.
But one man in Beijing, China, couldnt find a dog. Or a cat. Or even a rat. So he took to keeping around 200,000 cockroaches as pets. The pensioner told police he had begun breeding the cockroaches as a hobby after his wife died.
Thats fine – but how did he remember all their names?’
