Hmmm... any particular reason?

My sister lived in Thailand for a couple of years. She once told me that the cockroach is called "doomed" there because it takes roaches so long to die. The Thai must be very tender-hearted, such empathy is unusual. Personally, I'd rather call the roach "damned" because it takes so long to kill it.
