Over at Wired, there’s a story about how revolting cockroaches can serve a medicinal purpose, in Cockroach Brains, Coming to a Pharmacy Near You:

Cockroaches may be nasty bugs, but they could help fight even nastier ones. New research finds that the rudimentary brains of cockroaches and locusts teem with antimicrobial compounds that slay harmful E. coli and MRSA, the antibiotic-resistant staph bacterium. The work could lead to new compounds for fighting infectious diseases in humans.
