If you've been destined to eat garbage and rat c**p for your entire life, you'd want to die as fast as possible too.  Considering the fact that if you were a roach, you could live without a head for quite some time, it's best to just face the facts that a quick squish ends your meaningles life all the quicker.

because cockroaches are crazy things and they have some kind of terrorist thinking pattern. i mean, they're even programmed for the job! they can be hit several times and still drag their guts around the house, they can live like 3 weeks without a head, and i'm sure if you dropped a bomb on them they probobly wouldn't die either.
