How many roaches have you squashed in your life? I know I've manhandled a few of those scurrying little suckers in my time, but maybe I should have just caught them instead. Because now, I could make a pretty penny off them:
The Houston Museum of Natural Science is offering the public 25 cents per bug as it tries to secure 1,000 live cockroaches for an updated insect display.Cockroaches are as clean as the area where they live, and catching them is a great activity for kids, the curator of the exhibit said.

It's a pretty good idea. I could have retired on 25 cents per roach.
