Can we get half price for dead ones?

The Houston Museum of Natural History, a place that all Houstonians know intimately by the time they’re done with the 89th grade, is buying live roaches for the public, 25 cents a pop. Apparently this has something to do with an exhibit they are preparing on roaches and they need some live ones because it wont be disgusting enough if they just use pictures and shit. The museum is trying to get their hands on 1000 of these things, as if they couldn’t just go into any storage room and find twice that many scurrying away from the light as soon as they open the door. If there was some place that paid 25 cents per massive disgusting bug year-round, any dedicated Houstonian could make a gajillion dollars and never have to work again. [Source]
